Pál Diósi’s greatest achievements concern the field of pedagogy, though he has contributed to a wide range of fields. Studying various aspects of society, he covered a variety of issues like transport and taxi business, or the situation and opportunities of pensioners. He holds a university degree in Hungarian language and literature from the Faculty of Humanities of Eötvös University, Budapest. Obtaining his doctorate at the end of the 1970s, ten years later he was awarded with a PhD degree for his dissertation on the “Opportunities of group formation among young people in formally organized youth clubs”.
Diósi has been involved in teaching for many decades, mostly at the Faculty of Humanities of Eötvös University, as the head and instructor of field research projects. After the regime change, he established his own sociological consulting and research institute, which he is still managing to this date.
