In July 2026, Professor A. Vagov, Director of the Center for Quantum Metamaterials (HSE University), has visited Brazil on a working visit, which included participation in the International School of Superconducting Functional Materials for Advanced Quantum Technologies at the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS, Porto Alegre), as well as holding scientific meetings at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ).

From July 20 to 27, 2026, the HSE Faculty of Urban and Regional Development (FURD) is hosting a summer school for students from Tianjin University dedicated to the preservation of cultural heritage. Throughout the week, participants have attended lectures, practical workshops, and field visits to some of Moscow’s most iconic heritage sites. The summer school is the faculty’s first international programme of this kind and forms part of the expanding educational cooperation between Russia and China.

In the journal Journal of Rational-Emotive and Cognitive-Behavior Therapy, an article by Viktoriia Denisova and Nikola Petrović was published titled "Cognitive Distortions Are Not Logical Errors: A Conceptual Clarification".

On July 3, 2026, an interim meeting was held to review the results of the first half of the second year of the project "Internationalization of Companies from Developing Countries: The Role of Intellectual Resources in Response to Exogenous Shocks". The project is carried out within the framework of the HSE University "International Academic cooperation" grant competition. The project leader is Maria Molodchik, Professor at HSE University – Perm.

An international team of researchers, including scientists from HSE University–St Petersburg, has developed microlasers that emit deep-ultraviolet light at a wavelength of 255 nanometres. The devices operate at room temperature, and the smallest of them measures just two micrometres in diameter—roughly the size of a bacterium. These microlasers could be used in sensors, spectroscopic systems, photonic chips, and communication devices. The paper has been published in Optics & Laser Technology.

How are universities, vocational education systems, and researcher training programmes evolving in response to new challenges? These questions were at the heart of the international forum ‘Reconfiguring Education in a Changing World: Russia–China Dialogues on Higher Education, Skills, and Research Training’, held in China in mid-June. The event was jointly organised by the HSE Institute of Education and the Graduate School of Education of Peking University, which hosted the forum on its campus.

#МАСотрудничествоFrom June 9 to 11, 2026, the University of Campinas (Brazil) hosted the 5th BRICS Postgraduate Forum, dedicated to the sustainable development of BRICS countries. The 2026 Forum theme was "BRICS and Sustainable Development in a Multipolar World: Governance, Innovation, and Market Transformation". The event brought together over 100 students, postgraduate researchers, early-career scholars, and experts from BRICS nations to discuss pressing issues of sustainable development, global economic transformation, and international cooperation.

The seminar focused on a new mechanism for enhancing the superconducting condensate, which leads to a significantly larger increase in the order parameter and critical temperature than the well-known mechanism of quantum-dimensional resonances by Thompson and Blatt.

On May 13, Viktoria Denisova presented her talk “Distorted Conditionals: A Relevance-Theoretic Account” at the Center for Logic, Epistemology, and the History of Science at the University of Campinas (UNICAMP, Brazil).

On April 24, 2026, the HSE Campus in Perm hosted the XIII "Neighbors in Research" research conference, where members of the "International Academic Cooperation" project presented research in several key areas.
