Joint postgraduate seminars of the HSE and the Indian Statistical Institute (ISI) were held on October 28 and 29, 2021.

On October 28 Bastian Jaeger (PhD, Assistant Professor, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, the Netherlands) took part in the "Culture matters" research seminar with the report "What are first impressions based on? Why lab experiments don’t give the answer".

Radio Queen's University chatted with Professor John W. Berry about his lengthy and distinguished research and his election to the Royal Society as a Fellow.

In October, a two-day seminar entitled ‘Ageing and frailty in Norway and Russia’ was held by HSE University’s International Laboratory for Population and Health.  In addition to purely demographic results concerning the changing age structure of the population and growing life expectancy, most presentations were devoted to the comparative assessment of physical and cognitive status among elderly people, cardiovascular aging, as well as social and medical support for the elderly. We spoke with the organizers and participants of the seminar about their research findings and the implications for society and public health.

This fall the Linguistic Convergence Laboratory will organize a free online course on the East Caucasian (alias Nakh-Daghestanian) language family. The course will start on November 3.

The magazine celebrating 50 years of multiculturalism policy in Canada includes a contribution by John W. Berry.
