This summer, laboratory team participated in several international conferences on network analysis and control theory. Polina Ermolaeva presented in person at EUSN 2026 in Sweden, Lika Kapustina and Natalia Matveeva presented their joint research online at Sunbelt and EUSN, and Ilya Petrov presented a poster presentation remotely at the IFAC World Congress in South Korea.

On June 25, the Master's program in Data Analytics and Social Statistics held a webinar "Endogenous Social Effects: Networks, Game Theory, and Optimization Methods." The event was led by Ilya Petrov, a research fellow at the International Laboratory for Applied Network Research at HSE University.

From May 14 to 16, the first Russian conference on computational social sciences, organized by the School of Computational Social Science, was held at the European University at St. Petersburg. Six researchers from the International Laboratory for Applied Network Research presented papers.

From April 14 to 17, the Higher School of Economics hosted the 26th April International Academic Conference named after E.G. Yasin. This traditionally large-scale event brought together nearly 400 researchers from Russia and international universities, offering 95 sessions and 28 roundtable discussions on economics, sociology, management, and related disciplines. Researchers from the International Laboratory for Applied Network Research also presented their findings within this diverse scientific program.

Daria Maltseva, Ilya Petrov, and Polina Ermolaeva took part in the traditional general meeting of the University Consortium of Big Data Researchers, which took place on February 6 at Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University. Several other lab members, Irina Pavlova and Anna Kartasheva, participated in the event online.

n 2025, the International Laboratory of Game Theory and Decision Making, together with the HSE Laboratory of Complex Networks, Hypergraphs, and Their Applications, established an award for young researchers for advances in solving theoretical and practical problems in complex networks. One of the award recipients was Ilya Petrov, a laboratory research fellow.

Daria Maltseva and Anna Kartasheva discussed network analytics tools for trend detection and team management.

The 2025 competition for Russian postdocs to participate in research projects at the Higher School of Economics concluded in July. Sixty specialists began working at the university on September 1. One of the selected postdocs, Ilya Vladimirovich Petrov, joined the ANR-Lab team.
