KORR-KÉP - Corruption and Integrity through the eyes of hungarian youth

The Integrity Academy, operating within the Integrity Authority, launched KORR-KÉP, a comprehensive research programme examining Hungarian youth, in the spring of 2025. The study explores the perceptions, experiences and attitudes of young people aged 15–29 regarding the effectiveness of the use of European Union funds, as well as integrity and corruption.

The complex research programme applies both qualitative and quantitative methods. The focus group discussions conducted prior to the questionnaire survey constitute a valuable qualitative study in their own right and produce publishable findings, while also playing an important exploratory and preparatory role in the large-scale survey. They help identify the key topics, interpretative frameworks and language used by young people, and provide guidance on which issues should be addressed in the questionnaire and how they can be measured most effectively. In this way, the focus groups contribute both to a deeper understanding of the phenomena under investigation and to the substantive and methodological foundation of the survey.
