The project to develop a microfluidic placenta-on-a-chip model for studying various aspects of normal and pathological placental physiology, including one of the severe pregnancy complications—preeclampsia—has won in the competition "Conducting Fundamental and Exploratory Scientific Research by Individual Scientific Groups"

The impressive results of the Centre's Researchers' work were presented at the XXVIII International Symposium "Nanophysics and Nanoelectronics" in a poster presentation "Transition from type II to Type I superconductivity in dirty ferromagnetic superconductors". The symposium was held in Nizhny Novgorod on March 11 - 15, 2024 and brought together more than six hundred scientists from all over Russia, as well as from other countries. This is the largest conference on condensed matter physics in Russia, covering a wide range of issues from the physics of superconducting, magnetic and semiconductor systems, multilayer X-ray optics and quantum technologies.

HSE University's International Laboratory for Social Integration Research, together with the GES-2 House of Culture, will hold the Second Annual Interdisciplinary Conference 'Researching the Deaf Community.' The forum will address issues related to the social, cultural and linguistic aspects of deaf people’s lives. The conference will be held from May 31 to June 2 at the GES-2 House of Culture.

Scientists at HSE University and MIPT have developed a supercomputer-based method to model fluid flows at atomistic scales making it possible to describe the emergence of turbulence. The researchers used the supercomputers cHARISMa and Desmos to compute the flow of a fluid consisting of several hundred million atoms. This method is already being used to simulate the flow of liquid-metal lead coolant in a nuclear reactor. The paper has been published in The International Journal of High Performance Computing Applications.

Timofey Shvaya presented the study "Crowd Size and Prediction Precision: an Analysis of Metaculus Data". Co-authors of this research: Petr Parshakov, Iuliia Naidenova, Dennis Coates

Think20 (T20) is an official Engagement Group of the G20. It serves as an "idea bank" for the G20 by bringing together think tanks and high-level experts to discuss policy issues relevant to the G20. T20 recommendations are synthesized into policy briefs and presented to G20 working groups, ministerial meetings, and leaders’ summit to help the G20 deliver concrete policy measures. Every year scientists all over the world suggest their ideas for the  "idea bank" . In 2024 the  "AI for Inclusion: A Public G20 AI Platform"  was suggested. 

On the 1st of March Prof Elena Dragalina-Chernaya gave a talk entitled "Classifying Logical Forms: Variety of Invariance in Formal and Regional Ontologies" at the analytic philosophy workshop at the Complutense University of Madrid.

On Wednesday, March 13, the National Research University Higher School of Economics hosted a seminar "Expert opinion and data analysis".

On March 4, 2024 within the framework of the regular seminar of the Centre for Sociocultural Research of the National Research University Higher School of Economics "Culture Matters" Anna Dmitrievna Bertova, Candidate of Philosophy, Senior Lecturer of the Department of Theory of Social Development of Asian and African Countries of the Faculty of Oriental Studies of SPbSU made a report on "The Influence of Christianity on the Culture of the Blind in Japan"
