HSE’s Annual Student Research Paper Competition Now Open
HSE’s annual student research paper competition has begun accepting applications for the 2019 cycle. The competition is open not only to students of HSE University but to students of any university, both in Russia and abroad. You can submit research papers in Russian or in English. The application deadline is October 15.
About the Competition
The Student Research Paper Competition (SRPC) has been held in support of student research since 2003. The competition was originally intended for HSE students only, but in 2018, the competition became open to all students of Russian and foreign universities.
Now the SRPC offers students a choice of 22 areas in which to apply — from technical sciences and applied mathematics to art and design. In each area, with the exception of mathematics, there are two separate competitions: one for undergraduate students, and one for master’s students and undergraduate students who are graduating in 2019.
