The International N5 Symposium ‘Neural Networks and Nonlinearity in Nizhny Novgorod’ was held at the Nizhny Novgorod House of Scientists from September 23 to 26. The event was organised by HSE University–Nizhny Novgorod and the Nizhny Novgorod House of Scientists, with the participation of Sberbank and the Institute of Physics Belgrade. The symposium was held for the second time: the first conference took place in 2025 and attracted considerable interest from the academic community.

The competition will take place from October 26 to November 1, bringing together students from leading engineering universities and academics from Russia, China, India, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Mexico, Pakistan, and Uzbekistan. The Games are being held under the coordination of the Russian Ministry of Science and Higher Education and the Roscosmos State Corporation. HSE University is the operator of the International Space Games.

In summer 2026, the HSE Faculty of Social Sciences (FSS) took several steps towards establishing closer ties with leading Chinese universities. The Faculty signed a landmark memorandum with one of China’s top technical universities and also began talks with Peking University. In addition, the International Laboratory for Digital Transformation in Public Administration, affiliated with FSS, held an international summer school in Moscow with the participation of Chinese colleagues.

A delegation of scientists from Hanoi visited the HSE Faculty of Computer Science and then took part in a Russian-Vietnamese conference in St Petersburg. The events were part of the three-year project ‘Flexibility and Computational Methods.’ Over the course of the project, the researchers have prepared joint publications and obtained new mathematical results.

HSE University has joined the international BESIII (Beijing Spectrometer III) collaboration in high-energy physics. This marks the first practical outcome of the memorandum of cooperation signed in 2025 between HSE University and the Institute of High Energy Physics (IHEP) in Beijing, China.

Why pursue higher education in Russia? How can you become a sought-after specialist in international relations? What initiatives do students carry out? The participants of the International Youth Sessions project spent a day at HSE University–St Petersburg to find answers to these questions.

The Rope Shop educational space hosted a meeting between the HSE University School of Media and the Academy of Journalism and Communication in Vietnam. The parties discussed developing joint educational programmes, organising research conferences and satellite laboratories for media specialists, and expanding academic mobility.

Neural networks are no longer simple travel assistants; now they decide what to include on the route and what to skip. Artificial intelligence changes how people perceive a place and shapes the image of tourist centres. At the II International Scientific and Practical Conference ’Information Technologies in the Preservation and Promotion of Cultural Heritage,’ researchers discussed who controls algorithmic solutions and in what ways, and whether authentic traditions get lost in them.

The Statistical AI Conference was held in Sanya, Hainan Island, China, from 24 to 28 August 2026.
