The C19 Research Group, in which our faculty is represented by Zsuzsa Kondor PhD, Borbála Bányai PhD (both from the Institute of Disability and Social Participation) and Lucia Csabai PhD (Institute of Atypical Behaviour and Cognition in Special Education), was established to present innovative solutions to help people with disabilities during the pandemic.

The research findings of the C19 Research Group have recently been published in the journal Disability and Society under the title "The functioning of European social protection systems in fulfilling the needs of persons with disabilities during COVID-19 - a semi-systematic review." The study examines how European social welfare systems were able to support persons with disabilities and their families during the COVID-19 epidemic in Europe.
