The functionality of state information systems, the quality of data have reached maturity, the accumulation stage is replaced by the stage of developing system solutions. The role of digital transformation in modern public administration was discussed at the joint scientific seminar "Data-centric public administration: effects, risks, barriers", which was held within the framework of the strategic project "Digital Transformation: technologies, effects, efficiency". Evgeny Styrin, Head of the International Laboratory of Digital Transformation in Public Administration at the IPAG HSE, made a presentation on "Data-based Public Administration: Key Barriers and Development Prospects".

Cyber attacks exploit flaws in software, human error or misplaced trust. The end goal is to access information, money or to disrupt an organisation. To keep a step ahead of these criminals requires the organisation to have ‘strategic cyber-foresight’, advise Bruno Fischer of the University of Campinas, and Dirk Meissner, of HSE University Moscow. Researchers commented for the R&D Today on the highlights of their Guest Editorial in a Special Section for the IEEE, Transactions on Engineering Management, VOL. 69, NO. 6, DECEMBER 2022, they have curated, that covers cybersecurity.

Their presentation "Correlated disorder - a way to improve the characteristics of superconductors", has theoretically justified the approach which allows to significantly improve superconducting characteristics by using materials with spatially correlated disorder.

The report was dedicated to a new phenomenon in superconducting systems, which is associated with an increase of superconductivity near the surface of a superconductor.

As part of the implementation of performance indicators for the Mirror Laboratories project, from February 19, 2023 to February 23, 2023, a business trip of members of the working group of the staff of the Center for Sociocultural Research (Chief Researcher, Doctor of Psychology,  Galyapina V.N. and leading researcher, Ph.D. Bushina E.V.) took place in Krasnodar. 

On March 9, 2023, at a regular seminar of the Center for Sociocultural Research at the National Research University Higher School of Economics, Alexander Nemtsov, Doctor of Medical Sciences, Leading Researcher of the Psychological Institute of the Russian Academy of Education, made a report on the topic: "Excessive mortality on holidays as a behavioral problem"

Elena Dragalina-Chernaya gave an interview to the professor of UNICAMP (Campinas, Brazil) Walter Carnielli who is also the chairman of an advisory committee of the São Paulo School of Advanced Science on Contemporary Logic, Rationality, and Information (SPLogIC). The interview was published in JORNAL DA UNICAMP and is dedicated to the history of logic and its current development prospects.

How do we evaluate the contribution of innovations to urban development? Why do cities need innovation? How do cities attract top talents? These and many other questions were addressed by the participants of the international online discussion ‘Increasing the Innovation Attractiveness of Global Cities: Best Practices’ organised by the HSE Institute for Statistical Studies and Economics of Knowledge (HSE ISSEK) on March 1, 2023. The event also featured the presentation of new outcomes of a global study on urban innovation carried out since 2020.

On March 6, 2023, the ILSIR seminar was devoted to the discussion of the concept of "cultural citizenship". The report on their research was presented by the laboratory staff - Senior Research Fellow Tatiana Vlasova and Research Assistant Danila Ivanov. The debater was Maria Kozlova, Chief Research Fellow of the ILSIR.
