- ecological interpretations, atlases, maps, and the possibilities of the cartographic method; folk culture in space, cultural borders, areas, zones, regions, and ethnic groups.
The majority of the research projects are related to the area of the former Hungary, the Carpathian basin, and Central Europe, priority is given to fieldwork in these areas. As far as topics are concerned priority is given to projects that examine historical forms, regional and local variations of material culture and traditional society, in villages and other rural settlements. Besides projects with a historical approach, doctoral theses describing and analysing contemporary social and cultural processes are also welcome. If there are applicants to study the ethnic traditions of various ethnic groups in Hungary or other - mainly European - peoples, their research topic can also be fitted in with the research topics of the staff hereto annexed.
