Life
Balázs Trencsényi was born in Budapest. He graduated from Lycée Ferenc Toldy in 1991.[3] He studied history and philosophy at Eötvös Loránd University and graduated with a MA in 1997. In 2004, he graduated from the Central European University with a PhD in history. His doctoral dissertation compared the Hungarian and British discourses of nationhood in the early-modern period.[4]
Since then, he has worked as assistant professor, associate professor, professor, and departmental head at the Department of History, Central European University. [2][5] He is the director of the History in the Public Sphere[6] Erasmus Mundus MA Program at CEU.[7]

Public engagement
Balázs Trencsényi has been interviewed by numerous Hungarian-language,[14][15][16] German-language,[17][18][19] Czech-language,[20] Ukrainian-language,[21][22] and English-language outlets.[23] Trencsényi views the Orban regime as similar to Horthy system and the Kádár system in that it also managed to win over a "silent majority".[24] Orban's "attack on CEU weaves together a complex web of antiliberal and neo-authoritarian political forces and ideological streams."[25] He is also critical of the technocratic considerations in the European project, which made "people feel overconfident, and neglect their duties, which are actually transnational duties."[26]
He is a co-organizer of the Invisible University for Ukraine.[27][28]
