The HSE University held a meeting of the working group of the BRICS Civil Forum in the format of a round table «Sovereign Economic and Financial Development» to prepare proposals for the BRICS Civil Forum, which will be held in Moscow on July 3-4, 2024. The meeting was attended by the Research Fellow of the International Laboratory of Digital Transformation in Public Administration of the HSE University Evgenii Diskin.

Evgeny Styrin, Head of the International Laboratory for Digital Transformation in Public Administration at the Higher School of Economics, made a presentation at the conference "Flexible Public Administration – Iterativity in achieving the goals of state-owned companies, entities and the state." Within the framework of the report, the phenomenon of digital trust of citizens in the state when using and interacting with digital solutions had special attention.

The laboratory staff took part in the Seminar on the conservation of the Amur Tiger and Leopard, held from March 13 to 16 in Harbin (Heilongjiang Province, China), at the Northeastern University of Forestry with the support of the International Society of Zoological Sciences and the Chinese Wildlife Conservation Association.

During the joint seminar of the Social and Cognitive Informatics Laboratory (SKILA) and the Natural Language Laboratory (NLL) at HSE University on March 19, 2024, Anna Pushkareva (Boldyreva) spoke. She is a leading analyst at the IT company PARMA Technologies Group, a lecturer at MIPT, and a consultant at IEMIT RANEPA.

The project to develop a microfluidic placenta-on-a-chip model for studying various aspects of normal and pathological placental physiology, including one of the severe pregnancy complications—preeclampsia—has won in the competition "Conducting Fundamental and Exploratory Scientific Research by Individual Scientific Groups"

The impressive results of the Centre's Researchers' work were presented at the XXVIII International Symposium "Nanophysics and Nanoelectronics" in a poster presentation "Transition from type II to Type I superconductivity in dirty ferromagnetic superconductors". The symposium was held in Nizhny Novgorod on March 11 - 15, 2024 and brought together more than six hundred scientists from all over Russia, as well as from other countries. This is the largest conference on condensed matter physics in Russia, covering a wide range of issues from the physics of superconducting, magnetic and semiconductor systems, multilayer X-ray optics and quantum technologies.

Scientists at HSE University and MIPT have developed a supercomputer-based method to model fluid flows at atomistic scales making it possible to describe the emergence of turbulence. The researchers used the supercomputers cHARISMa and Desmos to compute the flow of a fluid consisting of several hundred million atoms. This method is already being used to simulate the flow of liquid-metal lead coolant in a nuclear reactor. The paper has been published in The International Journal of High Performance Computing Applications.

Think20 (T20) is an official Engagement Group of the G20. It serves as an "idea bank" for the G20 by bringing together think tanks and high-level experts to discuss policy issues relevant to the G20. T20 recommendations are synthesized into policy briefs and presented to G20 working groups, ministerial meetings, and leaders’ summit to help the G20 deliver concrete policy measures. Every year scientists all over the world suggest their ideas for the  "idea bank" . In 2024 the  "AI for Inclusion: A Public G20 AI Platform"  was suggested. 

On March 6-8, 2024, The Sixth International Conference on Development and Governance in the BRICS was held in Raipur, India. Ivan Makarov, a Research Assistant at HSE’s International Laboratory of Digital Transformation in Public Administration, remotely participated in it.
