Dr. Mauro Doria, recognized specialist in the field of new superconducting materials, has held an interesting scientific event for all MIEM employees and students - a lecture "The Origin of the Dirac Linear Spectrum and Topology "

The main goal of this scientific visit was a joint research with scientists working at the Center, in particular, with Professor A. Shanenko and Professor A. Vagov. Professor Doria has also given a seminar at the MIEM HSE, where he  talked about his recent work on new materials with non-trivial topological properties.

The online conference was devoted to the latest global advances in social neuroscience using naturalistic stimuli. Leading Russian and foreign scientists participated in the online conference.

In October, a two-day seminar entitled ‘Ageing and frailty in Norway and Russia’ was held by HSE University’s International Laboratory for Population and Health.  In addition to purely demographic results concerning the changing age structure of the population and growing life expectancy, most presentations were devoted to the comparative assessment of physical and cognitive status among elderly people, cardiovascular aging, as well as social and medical support for the elderly. We spoke with the organizers and participants of the seminar about their research findings and the implications for society and public health.
