The classical model of geographical education that emerged in the 20th century, primarily to study, assess, and develop territories and natural resources, is no longer suited to the complexity of modern spatial systems. Geographers need to learn how to work with big data and GeoAI, model nonlinear changes, and make decisions under conditions of uncertainty, while also bringing together knowledge of natural and socio-economic processes.Nikolay Kurichev, Dean of the HSE Faculty of Geography and Geoinformation Technology, said this on August 18 at the international scientific session ‘BRICS Geographers Day.’

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.

The Master's programme 'Data Analytics for Politics and Society' is launching a double-degree programme together with the Mexican Autonomous Popular University of the State of Puebla (UPAEP).

Through the expertise of its Сentre of Digital Technologies for Nature-Based Solutions of the Carbon Measurement Supersites Programme, HSE University will work with colleagues from Uzbekistan to assess climate risks and evaluate opportunities for implementing nature-based climate projects in the region. The partners also plan to develop joint research and educational programmes.

In September 2026, the Master's programme 'Data Analytics for Politics and Society' is to launch a unique international track—a double-degree programme implemented in collaboration with Universidad Popular Autónoma del Estado de Puebla (UPAEP), a leading Mexican university, in the field of applied economics.

From July 20 to 27, 2026, the HSE Faculty of Urban and Regional Development (FURD) is hosting a summer school for students from Tianjin University dedicated to the preservation of cultural heritage. Throughout the week, participants have attended lectures, practical workshops, and field visits to some of Moscow’s most iconic heritage sites. The summer school is the faculty’s first international programme of this kind and forms part of the expanding educational cooperation between Russia and China.

Peking University President Gao Song paid his first visit to HSE University as part of his first overseas trip since taking office in May 2026. The main purpose of the talks was to consolidate existing areas of cooperation and expand joint projects between HSE University and Peking University within the framework of the Cross Years of Russia–China Cooperation in Education (2026–2027).

How are universities, vocational education systems, and researcher training programmes evolving in response to new challenges? These questions were at the heart of the international forum ‘Reconfiguring Education in a Changing World: Russia–China Dialogues on Higher Education, Skills, and Research Training’, held in China in mid-June. The event was jointly organised by the HSE Institute of Education and the Graduate School of Education of Peking University, which hosted the forum on its campus.

At the end of May, HSE University in Moscow received a delegation from the State University of Campinas (Unicamp, Brazil), which has held a strong, long-standing partnership with HSE. The meeting in Moscow took place as part of the International Partner Week, which was held from May 19 to 22 by HSE University–St Petersburg.
