The International Association of Hungarian Studies
A central organ urging and supporting research and education relating to Hungarian language, culture and society is The International Association of Hungarian Studies. As one of its major tasks the Association sees the enhancing of cooperation between institutions and forums that contribute to the study of Hungarian Studies in Hungary and worldwide. The Association acquaints itself with Hungarian Studies related activities and renders accessible this information. The Association has a publication series of its own, which undertakes the publication of articles and monographies. The Congress of Hungarian Studies, organized every five years, brings together 400–500 scholars worldwide. In addition to the congresses, the Association organizes several conferences in between the congresses, mainly with the purpose of supporting the doctoral education within Hungarian Studies. Through these conferences the Association provides a forum for doctoral students in and outside Hungary.

Famous quotes containing the words association and/or studies:
“They that have grown old in a single state are generally found to be morose, fretful and captious; tenacious of their own practices and maxims; soon offended by contradiction or negligence; and impatient of any association but with those that will watch their nod, and submit themselves to unlimited authority.”
—Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)
“The best laws cannot make a constitution work in spite of morals; morals can turn the worst laws to advantage. That is a commonplace truth, but one to which my studies are always bringing me back. It is the central point in my conception. I see it at the end of all my reflections.”
—Alexis de Tocqueville (1805–1859)
