Also, in addition in HSE students, learners from other academic institutions are eligible for this competition.

The very last days of the academic calendar in HSE is studded with range of activities and in a way is the culmination of the  long and eventful learning marathon  that each one of the student across the various disciplines and programs have taken to master the speciality. The Department of Public Policy with its International Masters Program had its own zenith of the event - The Graduation ceremony on the 29^th of June. The graduation ceremony is a very bright, positive and unforgettable event for the students but equally so for the faculty members. The learning cycle has come to an end and the students are awarded not only the diploma but an acknowledgement of their preparedness for the world as a professional, well equipped with the skills and the tools to operate in the increasingly compact and globalized world

If you are interested in Russian history and issues of collective memory or identity-building, we are pleased to invite you to our forthcoming summer school. The school is called “Russian historic memory: in search of identity” will be held on 22-28 of September in ancient heartland of Russia - Rostov the Great.Over the past 15 years, the Department of Public Policy has held a range of summer schools, previously called “Baltic Practice” which focused on an exploration of the relationship between Russia and European Union. But from this year we are changing our focus and will be exploring the complex issue of Russian identity, which has renewed importance as the Russian government has increasingly celebrated key events of Russian history.

On June 4, 2017, HSE is holding ‘The Whole World at HSE’ festival, dedicated to the cultures of different peoples. It’s a great opportunity for many international students to share information about their country’s culture and explain how Russian culture might be perceived by people with a different mentality. In the part, HSE international students and faculty have shared their views on both their and our respective cultures.

We are glad to congratulate professor, Chair of Public Policy Department Nina Yurievna Belyaeva with her 60th anniversary
