HSE Doctoral Students Receive Presidential Grants

Elizaveta Sysoeva (Doctoral School of History) and Alexander Suvalko (Doctoral School of Philosophy), doctoral students at the HSE Faculty of Humanities, have received grants from the Russian President to study abroad in the academic year 2017/18.

Elizaveta is taking up internship at the University of Mainz, and Alexander is going to Ruhr-University Bochum.

Presidential grants are given as part of a competition. High-achieving undergraduate and doctoral students who consistently perform well in studies and research, win national and international competitions, creative contests, and festivals, are all eligible to apply for the grant, as are those who have developed their own inventions and published academic articles in leading Russian or international journals. About 100 such grants are awarded every year.
