The round table was held as part of the joint project of the HSE University in Perm and Sakhalin State University ‘Industrial Culture: Digital Solutions for the Research Ecosystem’ of the ‘Mirror Laboratories’ competition and brought together museum experts and university researchers from the Perm region, Sverdlovsk, Kemerovo, Chelyabinsk, Sakhalin regions and Yamalo -Nenets Autonomous district. The non-traditional format of the event allowed not only to discuss current issues of preserving industrial heritage, but also, within the framework of the workshop and strategic session, to identify new areas of cooperation between universities and museums.

The strategic session ‘Development of Cardiodiagnostic Products: From Sequencing to Medical Practice’ was recently held at HSE University. The event focused on identifying the market requirements for technology and products developed in the field of genetic testing for cardiovascular diseases.

The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has awarded the Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel 2023 to Claudia Goldin (Harvard University, Cambridge, MA, USA), ‘for having advanced our understanding of women’s labour market outcomes.’ According to the Nobel committee, Professor Goldin has uncovered key factors that determine gender differences in the labour market.

Aleksey Kychkin, a researcher at the Laboratory for Interdisciplinary Empirical Studies (LINES), and Oleg Gorshkov, a research assistant at LINES, received a patent for a system that predicts the spatial distribution of harmful substances in atmospheric air using an artificial intelligence unit. The invention can be used for integrated planning and notification of the risks of atmospheric air pollution by harmful substances. The work was carried out under a grant from the HSE University Artificial Intelligence Centre. The HSE News Service spoke with Aleksey Kychkin about the benefits of the new system, its application, and how it came to life.

The Ideas Centre for Advanced Interdisciplinary Research has announced the results of its 2023 competition.
