The Vietnam-Russia academic conference that took place in Hanoi in April decided to establish a Vietnamese-Russian Technological University (VRTU) on the basis of the Le Quy Don University of Science and Technology. HSE’s School of Software Engineering is to play a key role in this process.

Artem Stafeev, who received his bachelor's in Software Engineering in 2014, has become the first HSE representative to win a state grant to study at a foreign university as part of the new governmental programme Global Education.

Institutional cooperation between the Association and the Department has been expanded with the participation of three students who wrote their term and graduation papers under the supervision of the Department’s lecturers in the following fields:  Boolean and many-valued logics; Functional expressibility in closed classes; Blueprint trees and building a decision-making system in 3D shooters, based on deduction rules.

The famous Dutch computer scientist Wil van der Aalst has been made HSE Honorary Professor for his enormous contribution to the development of research and teaching programmes at the university and for reinforcing HSE’s international reputation.

Computer Science programme of the Summer University provides unique opportunities for students from around the world. The programme covers various topics in Computer Science from purely theoretical to applied and practical. Theoretical side of the programme includes both a detailed introduction to the theory of computations and more advanced topics in Artificial Intelligence and Statistical Diagnosis. Practical aspects of the programme are tightly integrated with theoretical material. Participants of the programme will have an opportunity to apply the new knowledge in their own programming experience, for example, in processing of natural languages, creating a distributed computing system or implementing a compiler for a programming language.

The HSE Faculty of Computer Science, where international specialists teach alongside Russian professors and one Master’s programme in System and Software Engineering is taught entirely in English, has launched a public colloquium.

HSE and Yandex have opened a Laboratory for Methods of Big Data Analysis at the HSE Computer Science Faculty (LAMBDA). The purpose of the new academic research lab is to create a world-class research centre to solve fundamental problems in computer science and develop methods for processing and analysing Big Data.

Higher School of Economics and EMC Cloud and Big Data R&D Center in Moscow (Skolkovo) have signed a cooperation agreement, which includes the creation of a Project and Study Group in Bioinformatics. HSE students and lecturers are a key part of the group.

Max Kanovich, Professor of Computer Science, University College London and Andre Scedrov, Chair of the Mathematics Department, University of Pennsylvania deliver a course of lectures on 'Collaborative Systems' at the Faculty of Computer Science from December 16 to December 26.

Mikhail Dubov, master’s student of the Faculty of Computer Science, Laureate of the 25th contest of amateur pianists in Paris (2014, 3rd prize and special press prize), Claviarium contest (Moscow, 2011, 2nd prize) will perform at the 'Professors’ Wednesdays' Concert.
