An offline final of the IT solutions competition for the development of the Arctic, named Arktek Data, was held on August 11. The GeoHSE team, consisting of two laboratory employees - Anna Derkacheva and Natalia Shartova, and faculty student Inna Panafidina, took second prize in the Urbanization track with a system prototype for analyzing the accessibility of health care in regions.

Marina Aleksandrova presented at the conference the results of her dissertation research on the topic: “The Application of Natural Language Processing Methods for prediction of item nonresponse: evidence from the ESS”.

The preliminary defense of Md. Reza Habib's dissertation was held on August 4, 2023 at a joint meeting of the Department of Sociology and our Laboratory.

Elena Artemenko's project received funding in a competition among research groups led by young scientists. The study is devoted to the analysis of cognitive biases in the perception of health-related information .

The training took place according to the program of the Swiss School of Public Health (SSPH+). Natalia Shartova, a leading researcher at the HSE International Laboratory of Landscape Ecology, took part in the event.

Junior Research Fellows of the Center for Language and Brain presented their posters at the iWORDD - International Workshop on Reading and Developmental Dyslexia.

The IALE World Congresses are held every four years and are the largest international scientific event in the field of landscape ecology. Representatives of 63 countries took part in the last congress.

Joint research is aimed at the theoretical description of a new generation of superconducting materials and devices. Among them is the work on the magnetic response of ferromagnetic superconductors, which offers a fresh look at the phenomenon of intermediate or intertype superconductivity in various materials. Another interesting work concerns the new mechanism of the "origin of complexity from simplicity" - when a system with rather primitive interactions between its constituent parts allows the emergence of complex spatial and temporal configurations (patterns). The  article with these results were sent respectively to the editors of the prestigious journals Communications Physics and Physical Review X.

Marina Zavertiaeva presented the study "Bank-firm interlocking Boards: Does it help to raise financial resources?". Co-authors of this research: Dmitrii Kirpishchikov, Evgeniia Shenkman.
