HSE University and Moscow DIT Partner to Advance 5G and 6G Networks
The Moscow Department of Information Technology and HSE University have signed a cooperation agreement in the field of innovative development of the capital’s IT infrastructure. The parties agreed on joint research into modern and promising communication technologies, including 5G and 6G, as well as AI, the Internet of Things, and other smart city technologies.
The agreement opens up opportunities for organising research and development work, knowledge exchange, educational events, and the development of production clusters based on Moscow’s infrastructure.
Their cooperation includes technical testing of students’ solutions using equipment from the 5G demo centre and, based on this, the implementation of projects to create and develop mobile 5G communication networks and digital services.
According to Professor Evgeny Kucheryavy, Director of the HSE Telecommunications Research Institute (website in Russian), cooperation with Moscow DIT will enable students and scientists to participate in real-world projects, contributing to the effective development of the capital’s infrastructure.

‘In our opinion, Moscow has the best conditions for innovation in the field of communications and telecommunications. We are ready to contribute to applied research, to test 5G prototypes and digital services, and to train specialists,’ Evgeny Kucheryavy emphasised.
Within the Priority 2030 programme, HSE University is implementing a strategic technology project to create trusted 6G communication systems. In particular, in February 2025, university researchers ensured stable operation of a sub-terahertz 6G channel with a data transfer rate of 12 Gbit/s for the first time in Russia. In addition, HSE has developed software and patented a method for simulating a wireless communication channel based on ray tracing data for 5G/6G networks, which helps predict coverage areas and optimally position antennas. ‘The partnership with Moscow DIT will open up new opportunities for the demonstration, testing, and piloting of 6G software and hardware components under development,’ stated the Director of the HSE Telecommunications Research Institute.
According to Evgeny Novikov, Advisor to the Deputy Head of Moscow DIT, signing the agreement with HSE University is another step that strengthens the partnership between the city and leading universities in the development of high-tech communication networks and the introduction of innovations.

‘Among other things, this cooperative effort will enable university students and specialists to test their projects at the 5G demo centre at the MosHub.Skolkovo site using Russian equipment and to conduct research and technology seminars on promising mobile communication technologies with the participation of DIT experts. Our goal is to accelerate the introduction of breakthrough technologies into the urban environment and to make Moscow a good place for developing human and scientific potential in the field of 5G/6G networks,’ he said.
Moscow DIT and HSE University have also agreed to conduct methodological work, which will lay the foundation for the development of an evaluation system for innovative solutions and standard project testing methodologies.

HSE Scientists Develop Method to Compress Large Language Models Without Losing Quality
Researchers from the AI and Digital Science Institute at the HSE Faculty of Computer Science have developed a new compression method for large language models such as GPT and LLaMA that reduces their size by 25–36% without additional training or significant loss of accuracy. This is the first approach to use mathematical transformations—specifically, rotations of model weights—to make models more amenable to compression with structured matrices. The study results have been published in ACL Findings 2025. The code is available on GitHub.
Machine Learning Models Can Help Reduce Volatility and Boost Stock Market Returns
The use of machine learning models makes it possible to achieve greater accuracy in predicting risks in the Russian stock market compared to classical econometric approaches. The predictive power of these models increases by 23%, while the average investor’s return can reach up to 13% per annum. These conclusions were drawn by Nikita Lysenok from the Department of Financial Market Infrastructure at the HSE Faculty of Economic Sciences. The paper has been published in Fundamental and Applied Mathematics.
HSE Study Reveals Imbalance in the Generative AI Market
Researchers at HSE University analysed how effectively the global generative artificial intelligence market converts investment into real revenue, concluding that AI is currently developing faster than it is paying off. The results have been published in the journal Foresight and STI Governance.
‘Entering Robotics Now Means Growing with the Area’
Unmanned vehicles, courier robots, and smart speakers are rapidly becoming a part of our lives. In 2026, the HSE Faculty of Computer Science opens its new Bachelor’s Programme ‘Design of Intelligent Robotic Systems’ (DIRS). It will train specialists at the intersection of IT, artificial intelligence, and robotics. Academic Supervisor of DIRS Vadim Morgachev explains how studies are organised and why graduates of the programme ‘will definitely be accepted into the future.’

HSE Students Among Winners of Yandex High-Tech Startup Accelerator
Yandex has announced the results of its Yandex AI Startup Lab accelerator, whose final round featured 12 IT projects. Over the course of three months, their creators—students and young entrepreneurs—worked alongside the company’s experts to develop their products. Four startups in digital marketing, medicine, and robotics were named the best, with their teams receiving cash prizes and cloud resource grants. Among them was Gradius, a startup founded by students from HSE University.
Researchers Find More Effective Approach to Revealing Majorana Zero Modes in Superconductors
An international team of researchers, including physicists from HSE MIEM, has demonstrated that nonmagnetic impurities can help more accurately reveal Majorana zero modes—quantum states considered promising building blocks for quantum computing. The researchers found that these impurities shift the energy levels that typically obscure the Majorana signal, while leaving the mode itself largely unaffected, thereby making its spectral peak more distinct. The study has been published in Research.
