The CEU Polányi Salon events aim to provide an open forum where scholars, research fellows, visiting researchers, other members of the Budapest-based CEU units and a wider academic community have the opportunity to gather, share, discuss, and confront around key themes that are the focus of this community. It has the potential to foster direct knowledge transfer, serve as a reference point for academic conversations among scholars; facilitate high-level academic feedback on the work of researchers; enhance interdisciplinary connections and support the integration of new members within the community.
