MCC Budapest Lectures

The Budapest Lectures, organized by MCC, provide a platform to discuss the topics, issues, and thoughts which preoccupy today’s intellectuals. The program aims at discussing these often-controversial questions with Hungarian and foreign guests who are either close observers or shapers of the key public, social, and business processes.

Previous conversations are available on our YouTube channel.
