The Fraknói Research Group, in addition to its basic research tasks (see here), places great emphasis on scientific popularization. As part of this effort, the Research Group extensively publishes its lectures. In addition to academia.edu, Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter pages, it created its YouTube channel ten years ago, where interested viewers can now find 224 videos.
The success of the initiative is evident as the followers of the Research Group's pages and channels continue to grow each year. This year, the total views of all uploaded videos on the YouTube channel reached 12,725 individual views. This is a 107% increase compared to 2022. The viewing time of the videos also increased, totaling 2,038 hours this year, which is a 141% increase from last year.
The most visited period of the year was in August, thanks to the upload of videos from the 9th Fraknói Summer Academy in Kalocsa.
In 2023, the three videos with the most views were:
1. The roundtable discussion on Mohács battle from the 6th Fraknói Summer Academy continued to lead, bringing in 3,607 new views this year.
2. A conversation with Archbishop Balázs Bábel with 641 views.
3. Péter Tusor's lecture on the Árpás Altarpiece ( 5th Fraknói Workshop Lecture) with 463 views.
The work will continue in 2024, with the Research Group expanding its channels with new scientific content.
