HUNGARIAN TOLKIEN SOCIETY 

Magyar Tolkien Társaság (Hungarian Tolkien Society) is a registered public benefit organization whose declared aim is to enhance public knowledge on the works and mythology created by J. R. R. Tolkien.

​

Apart from organizing the Hungarian Tolkien aficionados into a community (choir, charity ball, creative workshops), the Association has grown multifaceted since its foundation in 2002, it provides professional and technical editorial support for new publications, publishes the semiannual magazine Lassi Laurië featuring scholarly articles, interviews and various literary works and organizes numerous conferences, meetings and summer camps.

​

The Society also organized joint conferences with universities. The Magyar Tolkien Társaság also maintains relations with other tertiary institutions such as the Department of History and Philosophy of Science of Eötvös Loránd University, together with whom it regularly launches courses on Tolkienian subjects ("J. R. R. Tolkien - A 20th Century Mythology").

​

I am a member of the Hungarian Tolkien Society since January of 2005. Between 2005 and 2009 I only enjoyed the benefits of being a member of this unique community but after 2009 I decided to give back some of the positive energy I've received and started to take part in the organisational work. Since 2009 I work as a volunteer in event management.
