It is with great sadness that we have recently learned that Mária Kovács, professor of nationalism studies at Central European University (CEU) and a highly accomplished scholar of modern European history, Jewish studies and religious studies and GLOBALCIT expert has passed away on 19 July.

Maria was a much valued member of our network of experts from the very start. She was also a wonderful colleague and a dear friend. We will miss her.
