As of November 2025, ARP (Adatrepozitórium Platform/Data Repository Platform) is celebrating its fourth-year anniversary. During these four years we have hit several milestones and what started out as a project is now both an infrastructure and a community, with hundreds of users and members growing in number by the day.
From December 1–5, 2025, the Research Documentation Centre (Kutatási Dokumentációs Központ, KDK) at the Centre for Social Sciences hosts the annual conference of the Data Documentation Initative (DDI), the European Data Documentation Initiative User Conference (EDDI 2025).
This year, for the first time, the DDI is holding its annual conference, the “European Data Documentation Initiative User Conference”, in Budapest, at the Research Centre for the Humanities.
After several years of preparation, the HUN-REN Data Repository Platform (ARP) is ready to be launched in March 2024. The project is being implemented by experts from three research institutions belonging to the HUN-REN network: the Institute for Computer Science and Control (SZTAKI), the Social Science Research Centre (TK) and the Wigner Research Centre for Physics (Wigner FK), with the support of the HUN-REN HQ (formerly ELKH Secretariat).
Our pilot project aimed to improve archive searchability by testing various machine text analysis techniques on a sample of interview collections held in the digital social science archives of the Voices of the 20th Century and the Research Documentation Centre (RDC) of CSS. The project was carried out in cooperation between the RDC and SZTAKI’s Department of Distributed Systems.
Data of the big-scale research project on integration and disintegration processes in Hungarian society led by Imre Kovách are now available in the RDC.
Our new collection: Zsolt Boda's and his colleagues' survey research on trust in institutions and the success of policy measures.
Our new addition to the RDC: Gabriella Szabó's analysis on the discourses around the new Hungarian media law.
The RDC is the first Hungarian scientific data repository to gain this title.
