From October 26-27, a regular meeting of the Russian Academic Excellence Project 5-100 was held in Kaliningrad. The academic institutions involved in the project presented the results of their work and plans for the upcoming period of their respective roadmaps.

For the second year in a row, the Higher School of Economics has improved its position in the QS EECA Rankings, placing 23^rd among universities from emerging European and Central Asian countries.

Academic excellence projects, similar to Russia’s Project 5-100, are common in many countries, but BRICS countries typically have the largest number of universities participating in such projects. That is perhaps why the ranking of the top universities in the five BRICS countries – Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa – prepared by the QS ranking agency is of particular interest. For two years in a row, 10 Russian universities have been steadily entering the top 50 of this ranking. This time, HSE has taken 37th place, improving its result on last year.

From September 27 to September 28, in the city of Saratov on the basis of the department "Electronic devices and devices" of the School of Electrical and Mechanical Engineering of the Yuri Gagarin State Technical University of Saratov, the 13th International Conference "Actual Problems of Electron Devices and Engineering" (APEDE’2018) was held. MIEM HSE at the conference was represented by the staff of the School of Electronic Engineering

The Golden HSE is HSE’s main prize. HSE staff members nominate candidates, so the award provides the perfect opportunity to express our gratitude to colleagues and show appreciation for their work.
