Central European Academy
The Central European Academy (CEA) was established on 1 January 2022 with its seat in Budapest as a separate legal entity of the University of Miskolc, which has a long tradition originating from Selmecbánya (now Banská Štiavnica). The CEA provides an institutional framework for strengthening international scientific cooperation between the countries of the Central European region by attracting renowned senior scholars and talented junior researchers in line with the demands of today's challenges. In the performance of its public tasks as defined by the Hungarian state, the CEA has established an interdisciplinary network of experts researching the legal systems of Central Europe and beyond, called the Central European Professors' Network. By publishing its results in open access, organising lectures and international conferences, and establishing scholarships LLM and PhD scholarships, it aims to make the Central European legal tradition and jurisprudential achievements, which are an integral part of European values, as widely known as possible in Europe and beyond. The CEA primarily practices its academic engagement through its own international publishing house, called Central European Academic Publishing. To achieve these goals, the Central European Academy also cooperates with experts and institutions from other Western European countries and EU candidate countries, and its research covers other areas of law-related disciplines as well. Thanks to its dynamic and ambitious management, the CEA constantly expands its international network of contacts, with a particular focus on helping experts and researchers from the EU candidate countries to learn about the values of Central Europe and to effectively preserve their constitutional identity during the integration process.

Professors' Network
Each year, the Professors' Network launches research groups that analyse legal and social science issues with a Central European focus that represent the most pressing challenges the nations and scientific communities of the region are facing. Its researchers present and represent the specificities of Central Europe in an authentic way, while also drawing on the expertise of experts from other countries and regions.
The members of the Professors’ Networks communicate their results through books, studies, academic conferences and a range of events open to the public.
The CEA Professors’ Network has been gathering 185 professors and researchers from 53 universities in 15 countries from 2021.
CEA Publishing
The CEA Publishing's high quality open access, English-language books and journals help to foster dialogue between the scientific communities of the Central European region, with the aim of making scientific results known outside the region.

Junior Programme
Our Junior Programme is an excellent opportunity for young lawyers graduating in Central Europe to gain academic and practical experience leading to a PhD degree in a diverse, collaborative English-language environment, while also forging a true community.
Through research in the field of comparative law, junior researchers will gain an insight into international academic and publication processes.
It offers the opportunity to gain experience, further individual learning and development, network professionally, and participate in alumni programmes.
Never stop learning!
LLM Scholarship
The aim of the scholarship is to enable professionals to deepen their knowledge in a specific field of law within the framework of certain LLM courses offered by the University of Miskolc and to promote the professional specialisation of those who choose to become lawyers.
