HSE University researchers will take part in a study of the future of engineering education in Malaysia, while the Malaysian Industry-Government Group for High Technology (MIGHT) will use the iFORA big-data analysis system to validate the findings of its foresight research. These are the outcomes of a visit by HSE representatives to Kuala Lumpur.

How has research into online learning evolved over the past decade? What insights can researchers offer into how students learn, interact with educational technologies, and manage their own learning? Established in 2011, the International Laboratory of Research and Design in eLearning at the Institute of Education was one of HSE’s first international laboratories. Initially, its researchers focused on large-scale studies of educational inequality. Over time, their work shifted towards exploring the potential of digital technologies to address educational challenges, particularly through experimental research on digital learning.

Artificial intelligence is not creating new professions, but rather transforming the nature of existing ones. This was the conclusion reached by participants in the panel session ‘Hybrid Intelligence: Digital and Human Drivers of Development,’ organised by the Institute for Statistical Studies and Economics of Knowledge (ISSEK) at HSE University as part of the 13th International Forum of Technological Development (Technoprom-2026). The experts discussed how the nature of work is changing, which skills are becoming increasingly sought after, and what prevents companies from fully capitalising on new technologies.

Large vortices with characteristic spiral arms are often observed in the atmosphere and the ocean. Physicists from HSE University have explained how these structures form and why they retain their shape. The researchers found that velocities at points located along the same vortex arc remain correlated even over long distances. At the same time, this correlation weakens rapidly with increasing distance from the vortex centre. These differences help explain the formation of spiral arms and may improve models of atmospheric and oceanic currents. The findings have been published in Physical Review Fluids.

Having a sweet tooth may be linked not only to eating habits but also to the way people make decisions. Researchers at HSE University have found that people with a preference for sweet foods tend to behave more impulsively—not because they want immediate rewards, but because they are less willing to tolerate uncertainty. These findings may help improve treatments for addiction. The study findings have been published in Frontiers in Psychology.

From 9 to 11 July 2026, the Skolkovo Institute of Science and Technology in Moscow hosted the XIV All-Russian Congress of Councils of Young Scientists and Student Scientific Societies, bringing together more than a thousand participants from 75 Russian regions and 12 foreign countries. Evgeny Knyazev, Head of the Laboratory of Molecular Physiology at the HSE University Faculty of Biology and Biotechnology, took part in the Congress, also serving as Deputy Chair of the Council of Young Scientists of the State Research Center Shemyakin-Ovchinnikov Institute of Bioorganic Chemistry RAS.

HSE University is preparing to launch its second supercomputer. The new cluster will be primarily dedicated to artificial intelligence (AI) workloads and will complement the existing cHARISMa supercomputer. It is scheduled to become operational by the end of 2026.

Evgeny N. Knyazev, Head of the Laboratory of Molecular Physiology at the HSE University Faculty of Biology and Biotechnology, has been included in the fifth season of "The Faces of Science" — Russia's major portrait exhibition dedicated to scientists behind breakthrough discoveries. Evgeny Knyazev was selected as a laureate of the Moscow Government Award for Young Scientists; the opening ceremony took place on 5 June 2026 at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF).

The neural network analysed nearly a million 12×12 m plots and found that the rate of shrub spread varies from 2.4% to 26.1% per decade, depending on local conditions. The study showed that mature shrubs prefer well-drained slopes, while new colonisation occurs on flatter areas, which opens up opportunities for predicting further shrubification of the Arctic under climate change conditions

HSE University has launched a few strategic technological projects aimed at achieving the institution’s target development model. These projects focus on creating a portfolio of innovative products and services that fall under three key areas: socio-economic, science, and technology foresight, as well as 6G communication technologies and artificial intelligence.
