From years 1986 to 1993, Vicze collaborated with scholars from Hungary, Italy, and the Soviet Union to analyze Bronze Age materials. In 1993, Vicze began her PhD at ELTE’s Archaeological Department. Here she was able to study the largest collection of Bronze Age ceramics from burial contexts in Central Europe.
