The Kriza János Scientific College was founded in 2007 and operates within the network of scientific colleges of the Hungarian University Federation in Cluj-Napoca. Its professional activity is coordinated by the Department of Hungarian Ethnography and Anthropology and the Kriza János Ethnographic Association.
The college’s antecedents are the research groups within the Faculty of Letters of Babeș-Bolyai University and Sapientia University, which had a social sciences profile.
The college’s objective is to supplement the faculty’s ethnographic education with new topics and to familiarize students with the results of other social sciences in an interdisciplinary spirit. Individual scientific work with a supervisor, which includes research, publication, and presentation of results, plays an important role in the college’s activities. However, we also develop a spirit of debate, individual vision, analytical skills, and creativity. Guest lecturers, workshops, and study trips make it possible to gain a better understanding of the ethnographic profession, institutions, and opportunities for research and publication.
