HSE University Life

How HSE events and projects went online during the pandemic

HSE has over 140 student associations. We’ve selected some of the most active and interesting ones that are open to HSE instructors and staff.

In early April the spring Student Project Contest conducted its final phase—the public defense. HSE News Service spoke with the winners about how their projects can be useful for every HSE student.

At the beginning of the new academic year, HSE launched a new mechanism to support student projects called HSEcoin.  The first phase of fundraising through this platform took place from September 13 to November 20. During this time, student projects managed to collect 5,069.14 HSEcoins, which equals more than one million roubles based on 2018 exchange rates.  Below is a summary of the first phase of the HSEcoin campaign.

The work of HSEcoin crowdfunding platform has been extended till November 25. HSE students still have a few days to donate their HSEcoins to student projects or initiate fundraising themselves.

At the beginning of the academic year, HSE launched a crowdfunding platform to support student projects. On November 20th, the first  phase of fundraising through this platform will end, so it seems like a good time to sum up the initial results of this campaign in figures and facts.

On the last week of September, two student projects, HSE App and #poboltaem? conversational club, raised 100% of HSEcoins they requested and can go forward to implement their ideas. Another four projects approached the ‘safety net’ limit of 70%, which guarantees financial support.

Each year HSE holds the Student Project Contest, which allows projects deemed important for the development of the university at least and all of society at most to receive financial, organisational, or any other type of support to help them succeed.

All students now have the opportunity to create their projects on the new HSE crowdfunding platform. HSEcoins, credited to all students on HSE Day, can be transferred to these projects.

Each quarter, HSE holds the Student Project Contest, which allows projects deemed important for university or social development to receive financial, organizational, or any other type of support to help them succeed.
