We are talking about the traditional online scientific seminars of the laboratory, which took place in early 2024.

The laboratory staff took part in the Seminar on the conservation of the Amur Tiger and Leopard, held from March 13 to 16 in Harbin (Heilongjiang Province, China), at the Northeastern University of Forestry with the support of the International Society of Zoological Sciences and the Chinese Wildlife Conservation Association.

On March 27 (Wednesday), 2024, a extraordinary joint meeting of the all-Moscow scientific seminars "MATHEMATICAL METHODS FOR ANALYSIS OF DECISIONS IN ECONOMICS, BUSINESS AND POLITICS" (HSE) and "EXPERT ASSESSMENTS AND DATA ANALYSIS" (IPU RAS) 

Ekaterina Shalaeva presented the study "Risk-taking by Russian companies under conditions of economic policy uncertainty". Co-author of this research: Iuliia Naidenova

Georgiy Filatov and Maxim Evstigneev gave a joint talk entitled "Three Metaphors of Analysis in the Works of G. Ryle, L. Wittgenstein, P. F. Strawson" at the workshop "From the Logical Point of View", which took place on March 22.

Abstract

The talk is aimed to uncover the concept of "analysis" in the philosophy of three classics of "analytical philosophy": G. Ryle, L. Wittgenstein,  P. F. Strawson.We consider this concept from, perhaps, a somewhat unexpected angle. We are not interested in the doctrine of philosophical analysis itself in the works of these philosophers, but rather in the unpacking of which metaphors it is explained.Thus, the analysis is compared with the construction of a concept map, the compilation of a grammar textbook and psychoanalytic or psychotherapy. The first metaphor belongs primarily to Ryle, the second to Strawson, and the third to Wittgenstein. Although, in one way or another each of the authors addresses all three of them. During our joint presentation we are going show how the unpacking of these metaphors results in three philosophical projects that differ in technique, style and purpose.The report is based on the results of our work in the project group "Philosophy of Metaphors and Metaphors in Philosophy" (https://phc.hse.ru/metaphor /).

At the HSE Staff and Student Conference, which took place at the Russia Expo on March 19, 2024, HSE Rector Nikita Anisimov presented an overview of the university's key achievements from 2019 to 2023.

On Wednesday, March 20, the National Research University Higher School of Economics hosted a regular meeting of the All-Moscow seminar "Mathematical methods for analyzing optimal solutions in economics, business and politics".

This talent management program is aimed at supporting the professional development of promising researchers

During the joint seminar of the Social and Cognitive Informatics Laboratory (SKILA) and the Natural Language Laboratory (NLL) at HSE University on March 19, 2024, Anna Pushkareva (Boldyreva) spoke. She is a leading analyst at the IT company PARMA Technologies Group, a lecturer at MIPT, and a consultant at IEMIT RANEPA.

A research workshop "From the Logical Point of View" was held on March 15. Arsen Volskiy (a student of NSU) made a presentation on "The Concept of Modality in the Context of Lukasiewicz's Three-Valued Logic". 

Abstract

Jan Lukasiewicz is a well-known Polish logician, considered to be one of the first major researchers in the field of many-valued logic. In this regard, perhaps the most significant work is his article “Philosophical Remarks on Many-Valued Systems of Propositional Logic” wherein he formulates the concept of “possible” as a third truth value. I am going to talk about the logical system that Lukasiewicz is building as well as the motivations that lead him to this concept.
