HSE Experts have Become Members of a Council under the Russian Government
The list of members of the Expert Council under the RF Government has been approved. Its 200 members include staff from the Higher School of Economics.
The order on the creation of the Expert Council under the RF Government was signed by Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev on July 26, 2012. This advisory body, created as part of the ‘Open Government’, will work in two key areas: expertise of solutions which are prepared and made by executive bodies, and providing public control over their activities. In particular, according to the Council Regulations, it has the right to monitor federal budget costs and evaluate the effectiveness of the government’s work.
The council works on a voluntary basis and cannot include state officials. It is expected that the council will form several working groups on the main areas of its expert activity. It will be coordinated by a board of 20 members elected by the council members.
The first members of the Expert Council were approved by Dmitry Medvedev on August 6 and include 200 experts from various professional communities: from economists to cinematographers, from big businessmen to journalists. There are 27 staff members of the Higher School of Economics among them:
