Teaching Analytics in the Age of AI - Ian Brandenburg
Think, Don't Just PromptOver-reliance on AI is quietly eroding the critical thinking and communication skills that data analytics careers are built on. Analysts who will thrive in the age of AI will be defined not by how well they can prompt a chatbot, but by how well they can think for themselves. Our guest shares how the problem-solving skills he built during the MSBA, transferred directly to learning a new coding language on the job. He tells us why he uses an internal AI tool daily yet reaches for it sparingly and what he sees as the one capability the programme should emphasise more: face-to-face presentation and communication in front of real people. Host Eduardo Ariño de la Rubia is joined in conversation with Ian Brandenburg, a 2024 graduate of the CEU Master of Science in Business Analytics programme. He is currently working as a data analyst and consultant in Vienna, Austria. With a background in business administration and early management experience gained during the COVID-19 pandemic, he brings a practical, people-first perspective to the world of data. THINGS WE SPOKE ABOUT- Transitioning from business management into data analytics- How MSBA problem-solving skills transferred to a new coding language at work- How AI is reshaping day-to-day work for data analysts- Knowing when not to use AI: context, high stakes, and judgment calls- What future MSBA graduates need to succeed in the age of AIGUEST DETAILSIan Brandenburg is a 2024 graduate of the CEU Master of Science in Business Analytics programme, currently working as a data analyst and consultant in Vienna, Austria. With experience spanning business administration, general restaurant management, and classical piano, Ian brings a distinctly human perspective to the field of data analytics and is particularly focused on the role of critical thinking and communication as AI reshapes the profession. QUOTES- "There's a reason why we learn Python or learn coding in our program. It's really the problem-solving skills that we're going for, not to memorize the syntax." - Ian Brandenburg- "We as data analysts, we are trying to convince our stakeholders that the solution that we have in mind is the effective solution that will take us to the next level." - Ian Brandenburg- "I'm asking myself am I going to be able to give the AI enough context to give me a solution that is well rounded and sustainable?" - Ian Brandenburg- "Critical thinking is incredibly important. That is not a skill that should go down. In fact, as along with communication should go up with Chat GPT coming in." - Ian Brandenburg- "Prompt engineering isn't going to mean success. And I think that that's something that's really important for people to understand about where we are with AI." - Ian Brandenburg KEYWORDS #CriticalThinking #AnalyticsCareers #BusinessAnalytics #DataAnalyst #AiInTheWorkplace

Teaching Analytics in the Age of AI - Zoltan Toth
Privacy and the AI StackBuilding the right data infrastructure before you find product-market fit is a trap. So is delegating the thinking to AI before you understand the system it is building for you. The question AI in data engineering education must answer now is not how to teach more tools. It is how to teach students to know what is sufficient, and when to push back on AI-generated results. In this episode of our series, our guest explores how ten years of teaching at CEU has shifted his focus from courseware volume to hands-on depth, how AI has simultaneously delighted and concerned him in the classroom and what universities are getting dangerously wrong about how they try to regulate student AI use. Our host Eduardo Ariño de la Rubia is joined by Zoltan Toth, a Professor of Practice in the MSBA programme at Central European University. A data engineer and educator with twenty years of experience, he is a bestselling Udemy instructor with more than 60,000 courses sold and a board member of the Vienna Data Science Group. THINGS WE SPOKE ABOUT- From web developer to CEU faculty: Zoltan's twenty-year journey into data engineering- Why hands-on practice outperforms courseware volume in data education- The AI hackathon moment that was both impressive and alarming- Why debugging skills are now worth more than implementation skills- What universities are getting wrong about regulating student AI use GUEST DETAILSZoltan Toth is a Professor of Practice in the MSBA programme at Central European University, where he teaches cloud computing, modern data platforms, and AI engineering. He is a bestselling Udemy instructor with more than 60,000 courses sold, a former solutions architect and instructor for Databricks, and a board member of the Vienna Data Science Group, which organises meetups for data professionals across Austria. QUOTES- "I think that there is a danger there. So if you integrate some code, you still want to understand it." - Zoltan Toth- "What we should meditate on is what is the kind of work that we delegate to AI, and what is the kind of work where we need to accept the cognitive pain of going through thinking and solving and just sweating it through." - Zoltan Toth- "What we need instead is to give students a great mental model about how everything is built, so that they can take a look at the problems from an architectural point of view." - Zoltan Toth- "We should embrace that we need to suffer through a few problems if we want to understand those problems." - Zoltan Toth- "I think we are underestimating how much AI our students use, and we are overestimating our power, how much we can regulate how much AI students should use." - Zoltan Toth KEYWORDS #DataEngineering #AIEducation #TeachingAnalytics #DebuggingSkills #HigherEducation

Teaching Analytics in the Age of AI - Naida Dzigal
SHOW NOTES Ask the Right QuestionsEntering the analytics profession and discovering that 80 per cent of the job is cleaning dirty data is a reality check that no course prepares you for. Some say that analysts who thrive in an AI-augmented data science career, will be defined not by their ability to prompt a model, but by their capacity to ask the right questions and critically evaluate the answers. Today we learn how the team at RBI is building knowledge graphs to ground LLMs in real organisational context, why SQL coding skills are declining in value while critical analysis is rising and what should change about the MSBA curriculum, including a stronger focus on ethics, data lineage, and AI-augmented workflows. We are joined by Naida Dzigal, a 2023 graduate of the CEU Master of Science in Business Analytics programme and IT expert at Raiffeisen Bank International. With a PhD in technical physics and prior experience as a nuclear specialist at the International Atomic Energy Agency, Naida brings a rare combination of scientific rigour, multilingual diplomacy, and real-world analytics leadership to this conversation. THINGS WE SPOKE ABOUT- From nuclear physics to banking analytics via the MSBA- Dirty data, frustration tolerance and the analytics reality check- Using AI for 80 per cent of the working day at RBI- Building knowledge graphs and context layers to ground LLMs- Redesigning the MSBA curriculum for an AI-augmented analytics world GUEST DETAILSNaida Dzigal is an IT expert at Raiffeisen Bank International (RBI), where she is part of a strategic data transformation team reshaping how data is managed across the bank's entire network, influencing data processes that affect billions of euros annually. A physicist by training, she holds a PhD in technical physics from Technical University Vienna and previously served as a nuclear specialist at the International Atomic Energy Agency. She completed her Master of Science in Business Analytics at CEU in 2023 and speaks five languages, bringing scientific rigour and cross-cultural professional experience to the field of data and AI. QUOTES- "I was just so surprised that I was getting paid for essentially cleaning up data and spending maybe 20% of my time actually doing real analytical work." - Naida Dzigal- "The biggest experts always have the highest frustration tolerance." - Naida Dzigal- "I think where we fail most of the time is in our critical analysis of the answer." - Naida Dzigal- "LLMs are very powerful. AI in general is very powerful, but it lacks context." - Naida Dzigal- "The students that will succeed are the students who are able to ask the right questions." - Naida Dzigal KEYWORDS #AiDataScience #AnalyticsCareer #KnowledgeGraphs #DataTransformation #BusinessAnalytics

Teaching Analytics in the Age of AI - Gabor Bekes
Taste Over TechniqueTeaching data analytics in the age of AI demands a fundamental rethink of what students need to learn, how they are assessed, and what analytical competence actually means when AI can write the code, run the models, and produce the results. This episode explores the rapid collapse of traditional assessment, shares why taste may be the most valuable skill a data analyst can develop, and explains why working in teams of humans and AI agents is the direction the entire profession is heading. Our guest also reflects on how his Data Analysis with AI course at CEU has had to be redesigned with each passing semester and what universities must do differently if they are to stay relevant.Our guest is Gabor Bekes, Professor of Economics and Programme Head of the MSBA at Central European University, Budapest. An applied economist whose research spans international trade, open source software collaboration, and industrial policy, Gabor is co-author of Data Analysis for Business, Economics, and Policy, published by Cambridge University Press, and has been teaching data analysis for over 15 years. THINGS WE SPOKE ABOUT- Why asking good questions matters more than choosing the right method- The Data Analysis with AI course and what students discover- How rapidly improving AI models overhauled the curriculum- Taste as the emerging signal of analytical competence- Zero-tech exams, dark factories, and the future of curriculum design GUEST DETAILSGabor Bekes is Professor of Economics and Programme Head of the MSBA at Central European University, Budapest.

Rulers, Subjects and Loyalty in Thirteenth Century Poland
In this interview, Michał Machalski discusses his recent thesis research into rulers, subjects, and loyalty in 13th Century Poland’. The thirteenth century in Poland was a period of intense turmoil and fragmentation, with many of the nobility battling for supremacy, and for the right to be King, while the Teutonic Knights made increasing incursions into Polish lands.In this complex and fractured period, Michał looked at aspects of loyalty between the rulers from the local Piast dynasty and their subjects; how this loyalty was expressed, enacted, enforced, rewarded, and when lacking, how disloyalty was punished. Although loyalty within the church was beyond the scope of his research, Michał explains how senior Bishops became arbiters of loyalty and guarantors of oaths. Michał shows how through declarations and demonstrations of loyalty, the Polish society was held together and enabling Kazimierz III the Great to gain the throne and unite Poland. This podcast is part of a series of interviews covering central Europe in the medieval period for MECERN and CEU Department of Historical Studies.Image - Duke of Wroclaw & Krakow Henryk IV Probus, from Codex Manesse 1305-40 (27668147667)

Care, Solidarity, and Academic Life in Exile: A Conversation with Volha Davydzik
In this episode of the Protecting Academia at Risk podcast, we speak with Volha Davydzik, a Belarusian researcher working at the intersection of social and political philosophy, feminist theory, and protest studies.Drawing on her experiences across Belarus, China, and Germany, Volha reflects on academic displacement, mobility, care, solidarity, and the challenges of rebuilding an academic life in exile. The conversation explores the hidden labour of migration, the tensions between academic mobility and personal stability, and the ways in which gender and caregiving shape academic careers.The discussion also delves into Volha’s research on the 2020 Belarusian protest movement, examining infrastructures of care and solidarity, affective politics, protest art, and forms of collective resistance under authoritarianism. Together, we reflect on how care can function not only as a response to violence, but also as a political practice capable of sustaining collective life and imagining alternative futures.Volha Davydzik is a Belarusian researcher working in the fields of social and political philosophy, feminist theory, and protest studies.

Saint Emeric and His Chaste Marriage
Dorottya Uhrin is an assistant professor at the Eötvös Loránd University (ELTE) in Medieval History Department. In this interview she discusses her on-going research into the phenomenon of the ‘virgin kings’ that occurred in the eleventh and twelfth centuries in Europe. Dorottya’s work focusses on Prince Emeric, the last surviving son of King Istvan I of Hungary who, according to his saintly legend, died a virgin. She compares Emeric’s history and legend with those of the Holy Roman Emperor Henry II and the English king, Edward the Confessor, who were, again according to their saintly legends, ‘virgin kings’. Dorottya notes that while they were all venerated for their perceived sanctity, the image of the ‘virgin king’ as a positive phenomenon was short lived and their popularity was limited. This was possibly due to the lack of legitimate heirs, which for Hungary caused significant internal conflict, and for England eventually resulted in a foreign invasion.This podcast is part of a series of interviews covering central Europe in the medieval period for MECERN and CEU Department of Historical Studies.

You Are Not Alone: A Pocket Guide for Academics at Risk
What happens when academic freedom stops being a principle and becomes a daily negotiation?In recent years, discussions about academic freedom have expanded rapidly. And yet, many scholars, especially those early in their careers, continue to navigate increasing pressure without clear tools, support structures, or even a shared language to describe what is happening to them.This episode brings together Andrea Peto (CEU) and Benoît Josset (Rennes University), contributors to a Pocket Guide for Academics at Risk, developed within OPEN COST Action project mapping attacks on higher education across multiple national contexts - along with support from Democratization at stake? Comparing Anti-Gender Politics in CEE and NME countries (Antigender-Politics) COST Action.The Pocket Guide comes with an thourhouly thought out platform offering different solutions and support: https://academicresilience.eu/Drawing on empirical research and lived experience, the conversation moves beyond abstract debates to focus on practice:How do attacks on academic freedom actually unfold?What are the warning signs, before they become obvious?Why is self-censorship one of the most pervasive and least recognized forms of pressure?And what can academics realistically do when institutions fail to protect them?The episode also addresses questions that are often ignored in formal discussions: digital security, mental health, and the material conditions of academic work under increasing political and economic constraints.Rather than offering a checklist or easy solutions, the pocket guide, and this conversation, insist on something more uncomfortable but more useful: awareness, preparation, and collective thinking.Because the most dangerous assumption remains the same across contexts: that it cannot happen here.Produced as part of Protecting Academia at Risk project, with support from the Gerda Henkel Foundation.

Apollonius, King of Tyre – a Medieval Blockbuster
In this interview, Anna Boreczky discusses her fascinating research into the medieval illustrations of the story of ‘Apollonius, King of Tyre’ a romance from late antiquity which became a Medieval blockbuster, popular throughout Europe.Anna is an art historian and expert in medieval book culture, and is part of the Fragmenta et Codices research group in Budapest. She starts by telling the story of Apollonius, King of Tyre, which is a moral story and an exciting adventure of love, fortune and marital fidelity spread over the eastern Mediterranean. In her forthcoming book, she discusses 26 illustrated books of the Apollonius story, made between ca. 600 and 1500. Her research includes two fragments; the first found in St Catherine’s Monastery at Mount Sinai which is a palimpsest and forms part of a very early copy of the Gospels in Arabic; the second is called Apollonius Pictus and is kept in the National Széchényi Library in Budapest.. Anna’s principle interest is in the illustrations, their role within the renewals of the story and within the narrative strategies employed by illustrated Apollonius books These images show that when the book was copied or printed, the illustrations were updated to the contemporary era to increase the engagement of the readers. In addition, Anna’s research confirms that illustrated romances were known in late antiquity, and assumed to be highly popular, with obvious lasting appeal.The image shown here is taken from Heinrich Steinhöwel: Apollonius von Tyrus. Augsburg, 1476. Berlin, Staatsbibliothek Preussischer Kulturbesitz, 8 Inc 73, fol. 44r.This podcast is part of a series of interviews covering central Europe in the medieval period for MECERN and CEU Department of Historical Studies.

Digital Gaming – Doing History Today
In this interview, Olga Kalashnikova and Jan Kremer discuss their on-going research into historical digital gaming. They note that around sixty percent of the population regularly play digital games, and that historical games generally constitute twenty percent of the most popular games, implying that history sells games. Olga and Jan research not only the games and their developers, but most importantly, the gamers, focussing on how they understand the games they play and the history behind those games. In this interview they consider if, and how the most popular historical digital games can change or re-enforce popular perceptions of history. And if they do, will this makes professional historians more or less relevant. They also discuss how national governments might use historical digital games for political propaganda with an example of a game developed and marketed on behalf of the Russian state. Finally Olga and Jan consider what might be better ways of using medieval, or any history, in digital games to ensure they are historically valid while still being entertaining and profitable for the developers.This podcast is part of a series of interviews covering central Europe in the medieval period for MECERN and CEU Department of Historical Studies.Photo image - Pentiment (2022), photo provided by the Obsidian Entertainment

Not Just Data: Feelings, Doubts, and Hope in Academia at Risk
In this episode, Nadyia Kiss, Tania Arcimovich and Elena Trifan join for an intimate conversation about the emotional side of studying scholars at risk. Instead of focusing on results or policy, they reflect on what it felt like to work in the field: the moments of injustice, helplessness, solidarity, and unexpected hope that shaped their research.The discussion moves from personal biographies to methodological choices, and from the frustrations of bureaucratic systems to the therapeutic aspects of listening to displaced scholars’ stories. The researchers talk openly about positionality, trust, privilege, and the blurred boundaries between academic work, activism, and care. What began as a research project gradually became a shared space of reflection that challenged their assumptions about academia, expanded their intellectual paths, and strengthened their commitment to solidarity and public engagement.At the center of the conversation is a simple but powerful idea: that research on displacement is not only about documenting risk, but also about creating spaces for hope, trust, and collective meaning.

Auschwitzon túl- magyar zsidó nők lágernaplói
Pillanatképek 2.0 - nyitott akadémia a második világháború történetéről.Az MTA II. világháború története albizottság előadássorozata.Az Auschwitzban 1944 tavaszán és nyarán végrehajtott tömeggyilkosság a magyarországi holokauszt legtragikusabb fejezete és annak központi történeteként ismert. Mintegy 110 ezer nő és férfi élte túl a szelekciót és a náci hadiipar utolsó, végsőkig kizsákmányolhatónak tekintett munkerőforrásává vált. Az 1944–45-ben működő kényszermunkatáborok története csak megkésve került fel a kutatások horizontjára. Előadásomban azt mutatom be, hogy a „végső megoldás” magyarországi végrehajtása nemcsak Auschwitzot tette a „holokauszt fővárosává”, hanem annak része egy unikális forrásegyüttes, a sömmerdai altáborban írt lágernaplók keletkezése is.

A hidegháború kialakulásának második világháborús gyökerei
Pillanatképek 2.0 - nyitott akadémia a második világháború történetéről.Az MTA II. világháború története albizottság előadássorozata.A podcast előadás arra keresi a választ, hogy milyen összefüggésben álltak a második világháború utolsó éveiben a szövetséges hatalmak között kialakult ellentétek a hidegháború elindulásával. A posztrevizionista hidegháborús történeti iskola (J. L. Gaddis és társai) érvelései nyomán a szövetséges hatalmak között kölcsönösen kialakult bizalmatlanság elemeit kívánom bemutatni néhány példán keresztül. Ebben a tekintetben elemzem a második front kérdését, a Casablanca-formula értelmezését, annak szovjet fogadtatását, a jaltai deklarációk eltérő demokrácia értelmezését, a Szövetséges Ellenőrző Bizottságok ellentmondásos tevékenységét, valamint a későbbi szovjet szándékokat saját biztonsági zónáik kialakítása tekintetében. Végül arra a kérdésre is megkísérlek választ adni, hogy a szövetséges hatalmak háború alatti együttműködését valóban csak a náci és németellenesség, másképpen a közös ellenség legyőzésének mindent felülíró kényszere tartotta-e életben.

Nyilasellenes zavargások Csepelen 1944 decemberében
Pillanatképek - nyitott akadémia a második világháború történetéről.Az MTA II. világháború története albizottság előadássorozata.1944 decemberében olyan események játszódtak le Csepelen, amelyekre sem korábban, sem azt követően nem volt példa, a németek által megszállt és nyilas uralom alatt álló Magyarországon. Csepel lakossága szinte egy emberként tagadta meg a település déli részének kiürítésére utasító német parancsot, és szállt szembe az azt kierőszakolni akaró nyilas karhatalommal. Támogatta őket ebben a megbízott főjegyző, Szabó Gy. Géza, illetve a helyi rendőrök és a kivezényelt honvédek. Utóbbiak a tűzparancsot is megtagadták és szembeszálltak a nyilasokkal is. A csepeliek tömegdemonstrációja három napon át tartott, melynek szervezésében részt vettek a helyi baloldali pártok, mozgalmak is. A magyar katonai és polgári hatóságok ebben a három napban folyamatosan tárgyaltak a német parancsnoksággal, melynek eredményeként először felfüggesztették, majd végleg el is halasztották a kiürítés végrehajtását.Az események lefolyásáról eddig leginkább csak – főleg baloldali – visszaemlékezésekből lehetett tájékozódni, mivel kiterjedt levéltári kutatás nem történt ez ügyben eddig. Jelen előadás célja a történtek minél pontosabb rekonstruálása, a fellelhető levéltári források alapján, az abban részt vevő, az események irányításában szerepet játszó polgári közigazgatási, nyilas és katonai személyek megállapítása és szerepük tisztázása.

A 104 éve született Szenes Hanna emlékezete Magyarországon az illiberális fordulat után
Pillanatképek - nyitott akadémia a második világháború történetéről.Az MTA II. világháború története albizottság előadássorozata.Azt gondolnánk, hogy valaki, aki egy ország nemzeti hőse, akit a zsidó Jeanne d’Arc-nak neveznek, és Anna Frankhoz hasonlítanak, aki több nyelvre lefordított jelentős irodalmi életművet hagyott hátra, az sikerrel vívja majd meg harcát a történelmi tetteket végrehajtó nőket oly gyakran elérő történelmi felejtéssel. És talán még a kiüresített és kanonizált szimbólummá válástól is megmenekülhet. Azonban Szenes Anikó se tudta elkerülni, hogy az egymásba kapcsolódó, egymást is kioltó emlékezési körök találkozási pontjában ne alakuljon ki életének egy olyan kanonizált története, mely különböző korszakokban az életének más-más elemeit emelte ki, míg ezzel egyidejűen más részeket kihagyott s igy feledésre ítélt. Ezeket az emlékezési köröket vizsgálja az előadás.

Menekültkérdés a háború alatt Baranya vármegyében
Pillanatképek 2.0 - nyitott akadémia a második világháború történetéről.Az MTA II. világháború története albizottság előadássorozata.A második világháború éveiben a Magyar Királyság egyik fajsúlyos társadalmi-gazdasági problémáját jelentette az ország területére érkező, vagy azon áthaladó menekültek kérdése. A (kényszer)migrációs folyamatok hátterében különböző okok álltak: etnikai, vallási vagy politikai üldöztetés a szomszédos vagy akár távolabbi államokban, határváltozások, gazdasági megfontolások, stb. is motiválhattak nagyobb csoportokat vagy akár egyénileg menekülőket arra, hogy hazájukat elhagyva Magyarországon keressenek menedéket. A magyar állam álláspontjának sokszínűségét már ezen csoportok megnevezése is mutatja, a velük szemben alkalmazott intézkedések pedig szintén sokfélék voltak a korszakban a támogatástól kezdve az üldöztetésig, vagy épp kitoloncolásig.Az előadás Baranya vármegye lokális példáján keresztül kísérel meg képet alkotni az 1940-es évek első felének ezen aspektusáról.
