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.

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, 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.

Victoria Ramos Gonzales, from Bolivia, is a student of the ‘Master in International Management’ programme and researches management systems with a focus on Latin America. In this interview with the HSE News Service, Victoria talks about choosing to study at HSE University, presenting her research to experts at a seminar, and finding the confidence to use Russian in daily life.

The HSE Tikhonov Moscow Institute of Electronics and Mathematics and MTS are launching a joint workshop in which students will study network engineering, data analysis, and digital technologies. This practice-oriented project enables students to tackle real industry challenges alongside company engineers and MIEM specialists. Registration to participate in the workshop is open until April 15, 2026.

The HSE Faculty of Humanities has held the fourth Terra Hominis conference, a scientific event for students and prospective researchers.
