V. PUTIN,President of the Russian Federation
«the establishment of the higher school of economic was a response to the challenge of an entire historical era. your response was worthy. teaching has always been rigorous at hse and based on the outstanding traditions of Russian higher education. at the same time, it has been marked by an orientation on socioeconomic reality and on the best international practices.your alumni are becoming real leaders in civil service and business» (from a speech presented at the meeting with hse faculty staff in December, 2010).
Y. KUzMINOV,HSE Rector
«We started from the literal scratch and have become one of the top universities in this country. We have always taken into account the internationally accepted teaching traditions. eighty percent of our graduates choose Russian and foreign large and medium business companies as their employers, another 10% become civil servants and yet another 10% opt for launching an academic career. our students not just have their ambitions; they have the instruments that can help them achieve their goals. they gain both the fundamental knowledge of a wide range of subjects and the highly-tailored software use skills. they have a good knowledge of modern languages and this is yet another important instrument that they have. hse students have an opportunity to participate in a double degree program and get a degree from one of 20 school overseas partner universities. We would like to welcome here those who can make their own choice, who can keep themselves away from the trite mind frames, who are ready to work hard and be responsible, who are not afraid of meeting people as our graduates either perform managerial functions or render consulting services to other people.»

the international research laboratories help hse to inte-grate into the global researchers’ community and play an important part in addressing the following issues:
• improvement of the quality and grade of research • formation of modern internationally accepted
culture of academic interaction • Development of research areas which are on the priori-
ties list at hse (including the areas where Russian researchers lag behind the top international colleagues)
• engagement of the young researchers in the work within the international research projects
• Promotion of the international academic mobility concept
Typical laboratory staff composition• an international supervisor • a Russian co-supervisor• 4 researchers (PhD degree holders) • 4 doctors of sciences and holders of the Russian
degrees which are similar to PhD degrees • 5 junior research fellows • 10 master’s degree program students
today the international hse laboratories employ 121 research fellows. Ninety one of them are people under 40.
