Schools in Moscow are the best at teaching students. This point was recently supported by recently published results of the international TIMSS study. The scores of Moscow students turned out to be higher than not only general Russian scores but also the average scores from Europe. What is the secret of the "Moscow miracle" - opinions differ, and research has not yet been carried out. A group of young scientists from the International Laboratory for Evaluation of Practice and Innovation in Education has found a way to test all hypotheses. The case of New Moscow will help with this. The project received a grant "Evidence-Based Policy 2020" from the Center for Advanced Management Solutions.

Nadezhda Votintseva, IDLab trainee, presented the idea of a new study. This research will be the basis of her bachelor thesis.

Scientists at the Higher School of Economics have proposed a way to improve the accuracy of finding Z-DNA – the sections of a molecule that are left-handed rather than right-handed. To do so, they used neural networks and a dataset of more than 30,000 experiments done by different laboratories around the world.

Interview with Professor Eric S. Maskin

Researchers at the HSE Institute for Cognitive Neuroscience have shown experimentally that economic activity can actively change the brain. Signals that predict regular financial losses evoke plastic changes in the cortex. Therefore, these signals are processed by the brain more meticulously, which helps to identify such situations more accurately. The article was published in Scientific Reports.

On December 11-12, 2020, employees of the International Laboratory of Microphysiological Systems made a presentation at the conference 2020 – International Conference on Research in Life-Sciences & Healthcare (ICRLSH), London, UK

From December 12 to 13, a regular conference was held at the international laboratory of dynamic systems and applications.

This year’s HSE competition for the creation of international laboratories which considered proposals for the period of January 1, 2021 – December 21, 2023, was conducted from June 15 to December 15, 2020.
