On June 26 and 27, HSE University at Pokrovka hosted a discussion of potential partnerships between the university's research teams and strategic projects under the Priority 2030 programme. During the two-day session, the heads of strategic projects presented the main areas of their ongoing research, highlighted some of the key results achieved, and shared their vision for involving new researchers in the projects.

HSE scientists have developed an algorithm to protect digital images, significantly enhancing the security of multimedia data on the internet. The algorithm embeds watermarks into images; these watermarks are invisible to the human eye and capable of resisting various attacks. The results of the study have been published in Computers and Electrical Engineering.

As part of the International AI School-Conference, a poster competition was held.

The admissions to bachelor's and master's programmes in Physics at HSE University-St Petersburg are still ongoing. Today 'Scientist's Code' introduces you to the head of the department to which these programmes belong. Please meet Alexey Zhukov, Corresponding Member of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Doctor of Physics and Mathematics and Head of the Department of Physics. We discussed with the researcher why it is important to switch to optical data transmission, where quantum cascade lasers are required and why Albert Einstein was a genius.

On July 3, 2024 a seminar was held on the topic "Trusted communication between doctor and patient: an example of young doctors", organized within the framework of the Research Group "Doctor-nurse-patient relationship: between professional authority and the powers of consumers of medical services".
