From April 13 – 16, 2021, the international academic symposium ‘Foresight and Science, Technology and Innovation Policy’ will take place as part of the XXII April International Academic Conference in Moscow. At the symposium, representatives of leading Russian and international academic centres and universities will present the results of their programme studies. Many papers will examine the transition of knowledge to new technologies, their impact on people’s lives, and the growing demand for research reinforcement not only in times of crisis.

Felix Iturriaga, professor at the University of Valladolid (Spain) and a leading researcher at IDLab, presented the results of a study on the impact of a director's social capital on the risk level of Russian companies

Topic: «(In)homogeneous (ir)rationality. How the brain makes decisions»
 Chairman / Co-chairman (Vasily Klucharev / Boris Gutkin)

Alexander Kovalev's project "Development of an Algorithm for Predicting a Subcortical BOLD Signal with Simultaneous EEG Recording Using Deep Learning Methods" won the competition for grants under the "Umnik" program. Congratulations!

Dennis Coates, professor at the UMBC (USA), will deliver a series of lectures for HSE undergraduate students

Petr Parshakov, researcher at ID Lab, presented the study “How Heuristic Hiring Practices Lead to Nonoptimal Outcomes: The Case of Obese Workers” at the seminar of NTNU (Norway)

According to the results of the selection of motivation letters, 11 students from 3 HSE University campuses were recruited to the International Laboratory of Intangible-Driven Economy (IDLab). Yesterday the first acquaintance of the interns with the laboratory team took place.

In celebration of Russia’s Year of Science and Technology, we continue our series about HSE University’s international laboratories, which are headed by world-class scientists and scholars. The first of these, the Laboratory of Algebraic Geometry and Its Applications, was established in October 2010. Below, Laboratory Head Dmitry Kaledin discusses the Lab’s history, research, achievements, and current activities.

April officially marked the beginning of the peak forest fire season across Russia, and preventative measures have recently been discussed at the Ministry of the Russian Federation for Civil Defence, Emergencies and Elimination of Consequences of Natural Disasters (also known as The Ministry of Emergency Situations, MChS) and at a meeting in which the President of the Russian Federation participated. Regions have already started taking measures to prevent forest fires, and a team of researchers from the Faculty of Economic Sciences of HSE University has proposed a mathematical model by which the effectiveness of these measures can be evaluated. Using this algorithm, they compared Russian regions in terms of the success of their firefighting activities. Details of the work have been published in the collection ‘Dynamics of Disasters: Impact, Risk, Resilience, and Solutions’.
