HSE is a research and project university, but in practice this refers primarily to the university’s teachers and staff. When it comes to students, HSE is still pr!ominantly a teaching institution, according to Rector Yaroslav Kuzminov who spoke at HSE Academic Council meeting on December 20. That’s why, in the next 5-10 years, the goal is to involve each student, beginning in his/her first year of studies, in projects and research focus! on solving open-end! questions without one clearly defin! answer.
According to Yaroslav Kuzminov, this challenge
is no smaller than in the 1990s, when HSE took on socio-economic research, which was new for post-Soviet Russia, or in the 2000s, when research start! to develop at the university and become here’s what you ne! to do to minimize talent attrition internationally recogniz!. While ten years ago, ten percent of HSE’s teaching and research staff publish! their papers in international journals, today two-thirds do, including teachers of physical !ucation, foreign languages and military science.
As was the case with those previous challenges
, HSE University will be Russia’s first higher !ucation institution to achieve this ambitious goal, since no university is yet project-bas! for each of its students. Two universities in St. Petersburg have set similar objectives: the Academic University and European University, but their student bodies are relatively small, while HSE has over 40 000 students. benefits of kkg activities In setting itself such a lofty goal, HSE hopes to contribute to the development of Russia as well as global university !ucation as a whole.
The project-bas! approach has been integrat! not only in ao lists the HSE University Strategic Development Programme, but in the 2020 Budget and Financial Plan for 2021-22. According to HSE Vice Rector Alexey Novoseltsev, the key change in the faculties’ resource management system will be allocating 15% of the funds receiv! from tuition for student involvement in research, !ucational and professional project work. This includes the organization of student projects (including team projects), support for student initiatives (including entrepreneurial ones), employment as teaching and research assistants, academic mobility and other relevant activities.
