Science, Technology and Innovation Management and Policy

Muhammad Abdullah Tariq, 25, from Pakistan, has a bachelor’s in Government and Public Policy from the National Defence University (Islamabad) and is now a student of the Master’s in Science, Technology and Innovation Management and Policy at HSE University–Moscow. In his interview with the HSE News Service, he spoke on the importance of science diplomacy, the challenges of the Russian language, and why research intensity is a good thing.

Karmen Armand, a second-year student in the Master's program "Science, Technology, and Innovation Management and Policy" (ISSEK), is completing her master's degree at the University of Campinas (UNICAMP) this summer to receive both a Russian and a Brazilian diploma. She graciously agreed to share her experience of living and studying in Brazil this year.

In a world where technology often advances faster than regulation, professionals who understand both technological systems and policy frameworks are increasingly valuable. Vladimir Makarov, a student in the Master’s Programme in Science, Technology and Innovation Management and Policy at HSE University, is developing exactly this kind of interdisciplinary profile.

In the world of biomedical research, the path from a laboratory discovery to a patient's treatment is often long and complex. It requires more than just scientific excellence; it demands strategic management, an understanding of policy, and the ability to navigate the ecosystem of innovation. This is precisely the gap that Svetlana Pylina, a new student in our Master’s Programme ‘Science, Technology and Innovation Management and Policy’, is preparing to bridge.
