It was great to meet so many people at JobMesse Vienna 2026 this weekend! 👋

Our colleagues spent two days at Marx Halle talking with visitors about career opportunities at CEU, what it’s like to work in higher education and the range of roles available across our university.

We also had the chance to speak with prospective students interested in CEU’s degree programs, making it a great opportunity to introduce visitors to both sides of our community: CEU as a workplace and as a university.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by our booth to meet the team and learn more about CEU!

Nothing says welcome to CEU like a boat tour in a national park. 🛶🌿

Our Department of Environmental Sciences and Policy kicked off the year with their annual retreat, taking 50+ new students, faculty, and staff to the Donau-Auen National Park for two days of team building, sustainability challenges and a guided tour through one of Vienna's most biodiverse landscapes.

Oh, and one of the park's project managers? A CEU alum. 👋

What can Hungary’s experience teach us about the possibility of democratic renewal?

At CEU’s 35th Anniversary Presidential Lecture Series, Kim Lane Scheppele, Laurance S. Rockefeller Professor of Sociology and International Affairs at Princeton University and founding co-director of CEU’s Gender Studies Program, explored this question in her lecture, “Can Hungary Start a Democratic Cascade?”

Drawing on her decades of research on constitutional democracy, Scheppele examined how techniques of democratic erosion can spread across borders, and whether the same might be true of democratic restoration.

Her lecture explored the 2026 Hungarian election, the role of broad political coalitions, the importance of institutional reform and the challenges of rebuilding democratic institutions after a period of democratic backsliding.

The discussion continued with CEU Interim President and Rector Carsten Q. Schneider and Pro-Rector for External Relations Mathias Möschel, with questions from the audience on democratic renewal, the role of the EU and the potential for political lessons to travel across borders.

Watch the lecture and read the key takeaways from an evening of discovery, discussion and debate:

Is liberal society in crisis, or simply at a crossroads?

Last Thursday, the 6th event of our Presidential Lecture Series welcomed Steffen Mau, Director at the Max Planck Institute for Political and Social Science and Professor of Macrosociology at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, for a lecture titled "Societies of Change, Societies of Crisis? On the Contestations of the Liberal Model."

Mau examined the symptoms of crisis affecting the liberal model of society today, drawing on his work on inequality, political polarization, and social change. His latest book, Trigger Points: Inequality and Political Polarization in Contemporary Society, explores exactly these themes.

The evening took place at the Wien Museum, where Director Matti Bunzl welcomed the audience and highlighted the museum's growing collaboration with CEU through their joint museum studies program, now in its third year. Hosted by CEU Interim President and Rector Carsten Q. Schneider.

The Academic Year 2026/27 is officially open.

Yesterday, we celebrated our Opening Ceremony at Expedithalle, where CEU Interim President and Rector Carsten Q. Schneider welcomed our new students to the community.

The program featured speeches from two students who set the tone beautifully for the year ahead. Shehryar Hassan, a second-year MA student in Economics, Data, and Policy, spoke on behalf of returning students. Incoming MS Social Data Science student Zheng Zeng addressed the new cohort with words that resonated across the room: "Our task is the same: to analyze the world rigorously so we can change it meaningfully."

A highlight of the afternoon was the conferral of the 15th annual European Award for Excellence in Teaching in the Social Sciences and Humanities, presented by Pro-Rector for Teaching and Learning Eva Fodor to Professor Hana Cervinkova from Maynooth University, Ireland. Professor Cervinkova was recognized for her outstanding work as a political anthropologist and for developing award-winning models for international education.

Welcome to all our new and returning students, faculty, and staff. We look forward to another remarkable year ahead.
