Dr. Kinga Szabó

Introduction:

I graduated from ELTE Faculty of Humanities in 2006 with a degree in English and German language and literature, and in 2009 I obtained a degree in English language and literature from the same faculty. I obtained my PhD from Széchenyi István University, Doctoral School of Regional Sciences and Business Administration (SzEEDSM) in the English-language doctoral program. My research topic is the sharing economy, and I wrote my dissertation entitled "In Trust, We Thrive and the Platforms We Use: Pillars of and a Case for the Sharing Economy." Starting in 2021, I will be a researcher at the Center for Economic Geography and Settlement Marketing at Neumann János University, and then an associate professor from 2023.

I gained my professional experience at the ÉFOÉSZ civil organization, the Indian Embassy, the Ministry of National Economy, the Hungarian National Bank, and the PADME Foundation.

My research focuses on the sharing economy, servitization, and sustainability, and how these areas are interrelated, with a view to determining how and in what form the sharing economy can be an alternative for sustainable development.

I participated in writing the textbook "Service Process Management in Public Administration" and the electronic teaching material and study volume "Public Burden Sharing in Digital Prosperity" at the National University of Public Service.
