International Programme in Economics and Finance

In late October, the academics of ICEF HSE and FES HSE went to Wuhan University (China) for the Wuhan University – HSE Joint Workshop on Applied Economics, a venue that has brought together the economics researchers of the two universities.

October 10, 2025 ICEF held the Seventh ICEF International Conference on Applied Economics at the Higher School of Economics in Moscow. The conference was held in offline format with the participation of researchers from leading Russian and foreign universities, which contributed to the exchange of ideas among academics doing state-of-the-art research on applied economics including industrial organization, the economics of education and labour, environmental economics and energy transition, empirical analysis of legal institutions and corporate governance.

In late August, ICEF HSE hosted a delegation from the Vietnam National University–University of Economics and Business (VNU-UEB), Hanoi.
The visit resulted in the signing of a student exchange agreement designed to strengthen cooperation between the two institutions.

From July 6 to 16, 2025, ICEF HSE hosted its inaugural International Summer School in Economics and Finance for students from partner universities. Thirty undergraduate students from China, Vietnam, Turkey, and the UAE joined their peers at ICEF for a programme that combined rigorous academic sessions with cultural immersion. The academic component was delivered by ICEF and HSE faculty, along with industry experts in economics and financial markets.
