Dr. Eva Kuti


On Wednesday, June 15th, we had the great pleasure of meeting with Dr. Eva Kuti who is considered by a great many to be the academic expert (with many books and articles to her name) in the field of Hungarian nonprofits and any and all related topics. After getting her degree from the Karl Marx University of Economics in Budapest, Dr. Kuti spent a great deal of time working for a number of schools and organizations including the Central Statistical Office and the Economic Research Institute before receiving her PhD in economics in 2003. Since then she has taught as a professor for the Budapest College of Management in addition to conducting various types of research regarding the structure of the nonprofit sector.

Dr. Kuti lectured us on all the types of research she has conducted regarding the nonprofit climate in Hungary and after a short while, the class unanimously agreed that yes, she was indeed an expert. Her level of knowledge regarding the nonprofit climate was truly awe inspiring even to a point where we were determined to ask thought provoking questions in order to validate our own knowledge of the sector. Hopefully, we succeeded. It was a great pleasure hosting Dr. Eva Kuti and we are sincerely grateful for her time and insights!
