This Week’s Events at HSE University

© Daniil Prokofyev/ HSE University

Recycling, Psychological Welcome Week, and eSports—a selection of this week’s events at HSE University.

Recycling collection (September 19 – October 3)

Everyone knows how important it is to protect forests, and collecting waste paper is one way to do it—recycling one ton of used paper saves about 20 trees and 20,000 litres of water. Green HSE is running a campaign to collect waste paper, receipts, batteries and bottle caps. The collection is taking place in the atrium of the Pokrovka building, the first floor of the buildings at 11 Myasnitskaya, 21/4 Staraya Basmannaya, and Dormitory 9.
