Centres of excellence

In 2014, the HSE started implementation of the project on development of centres of excellence — academic and think tanks, holding leading positions in the topical areas of R&D with unique resources to conduct highly competitive scientific projects. The centres comprise international labor groups which include invited professors from the best research institutes in the world, Russian and foreign scientists with high scientific qualification as well as junior research staff and graduate students.

In 2014 HSE established two centres of excellence:

• on the basis of Institute for Statistical Studies and Economics of Knowledge (ISSEK);
• on the basis of Institute for Cognitive Science.
