Twenty years of the Hungarian Regional Science Association in numbers

Abstract

This study is a retrospect on the 20 th anniversary of the founding of the Hungarian Regional Science Association. Our aim is to provide a brief but comprehensive overview of these two decades in the light of quantifiable facts and results. We use document analysis and statistical descriptive methods in order to present a compact picture of the history of the Association's development. The results of our analysis confirm the impression that the Association, after a consistent building process, is characterised by stability, and it offers a wide range of perspectives for professional cooperation between the representatives of regional science.

“…This retrospective overview suggests that the HRSA has had a successful two decades since its foundation, it has already entered the mature stage of its development, as demonstrated by the stable and increasing number of its members and a sustained interest in the events organized by the Association. In the face of many years of external uncertainties in the domestic regional science arena, HRSA has been able to provide stability for the academic community (Berkes & Zsibók, 2022).…”
