The CardioLife genetic test—a development by the Centre for Biomedical Research and Technologies of the AI and Digital Science Institute at HSE University’s Faculty of Computer Science—has won the Data Fusion Awards, which recognise achievements in data and AI technologies. The project took first place in the Science–Business Partnership category.

A Russian ground station for receiving SONIKS satellite data has been installed on the campus of the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay (IIT Bombay). Developed by Geoscan, the system will become part of a mirror laboratory project run jointly by HSE University and one of India’s leading universities.

The conference programme covers five research topics: economics; human capital and society; instrumental methods and models; foresight research; and international research. Hundreds of scientists from around the world will take part in the conference.

Where does the Mistress of the Copper Mountain live? How can the national cuisine of Tatarstan surprise you? What does the Stone Town near Perm look like? HSE University–St Petersburg hosted a fair which brought together representatives of various nationalities of Russia, who presented their national dishes, and took international students on an interactive journey around Russian regions.

As a student, Stepan Mikhailov took part in an expedition to the Urals and became so deeply engaged that he eventually wrote his dissertation on a related topic—possessive constructions in the Khanty language. In this interview for the HSE Young Scientists project, he talks about bridging syntax and semantics, the importance of making time to cook and eat breakfast in the morning, and his favourite place in the village of Kazym.

The HSE Academic Writing Centre is preparing a major celebration of its 15th anniversary—the international academic writing conference ‘Celebrate Writing with Us.’ So far, 282 participants from 19 countries have accepted the invitation.

Sergey Loesov, professor at the Institute for Oriental and Classical Studies (Faculty of Humanities), and his colleagues document endangered languages while working in the field in Tur Abdin and Qalamoun. In this interview, Prof. Loesov discusses field linguistics, Kurdish assistants, and a ‘bold analogy’ with the Prague Linguistic Circle.

Scientists at the HSE AI and Digital Science Institute have developed a model capable of predicting protein–protein interactions with 95% accuracy. The solution could accelerate the discovery of disease molecular mechanisms, biomarkers, and potential therapeutic targets. The paper has been published in Scientific Reports.

The HSE Faculty of Humanities has held the fourth Terra Hominis conference, a scientific event for students and prospective researchers. This year, more than 400 participants and 200 attendees from different countries took part. The conference partners were the Main Information and Computer Centre of the Ministry of Culture of the Russian Federation and the Jewish Museum and Tolerance Centre.
