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.

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.

On April 20, 2026, the Faculty of World Economy and International Affairs hosted a seminar of the International Academic Cooperation Project “Approaches to an Alternative International Monetary System” on the topic “BRICS: International Trade and Settlements in National Currencies”. The seminar featured a presentation by Vipin Veetil, Associate Professor at the Indian Institute of Management Kozhikode.

The HSE University International Laboratory for Mirror Symmetry and Automorphic Forms and the Beijing Institute of Mathematical Sciences and Applications (BIMSA) held a joint online conference on mathematical physics. The results of the laboratory research presented at the event will be published in leading academic journals.

Are you wary of coding but want to work with data professionally without waiting for analysts to deliver results every time? On April 4, in a three-hour workshop, participants went from the initial idea to creating an interactive prototype for presenting the results.On April 4, an online master class, "Digital researcher: no-code tools for working with data", was held as part of the project "Integrated platform solutions for preserving and promoting cultural heritage (using Samarkand and St. Petersburg as an example)" within the "International Academic Cooperation" program.

A joint research group from HSE University and the University of Campinas discusses opportunities for cooperation between payment providers and foreign trade companies.

The seminar is the second of two consecutive seminars dedicated to the problem of the connection of the Abrikosov-Bogomolny equations with the physics of topological effects. While the first seminar focused on the classical scalar case and laid the foundation for understanding self-dual vortex structures in type II superconductors, this seminar explores the Abrikosov-Bogomolny equations with the inclusion of spin degrees of freedom. The speaker: Mauro Doria, a member of the IAS project and a professor at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro.

This is the first of two consecutive seminars on the problem of the Abrikosov-Bogomolny equations and their connection with topological phenomena. The seminar was devoted to the consideration of the Abrikosov-Bogomolny equations in the spinless (scalar) mode, which operate in 2nd-order superconductors near the upper critical field and in the crossover region between 2nd- and 1st-order superconductivity.The focus of the seminar is to obtain the Abrikosov-Bogomolny equations from the kinetic energy of a Schrödinger scalar field by decomposing this energy into three parts, which is known as a special case of the Laplace operator representation through the Lichnerowicz Laplace operator and leads to a local relation between the magnetic induction and the superconducting order parameter.
