I started my scientific activity in 1990, taught and lectured at several universities (ELTE, Zrínyi Miklós National Defense University). In addition, I gave presentations as a protocol and Middle East expert at many company events (Mellow Mood Academy, Hungarian Association of Protocols). During my work at MOL Group, I was able to participate in many (more than 40) international conferences.
