On October 16, 2026, HSE ICEF hosted the Eighth International Conference on Applied Economics. Held fully on-site, the conference brought researchers from HSE University, the New Economic School, Wuhan University, and Shandong University together in Moscow. The programme was organised around three overarching themes— ‘Environment, Resources and Policy,’ ‘Migration, Labour, and Communication,’ and ‘Consumption, Behaviour, and Climate—offering an opportunity to see how similar economic mechanisms operate in China, Pakistan, the United States, and Russia.
Anastasiia Deeva studies the socio-economic consequences of excess weight in Russia. In an interview for the Young Scientists of HSE University project, she spoke about why beauty cannot be measured, her desire to write a novel, ‘Dostoevskian’ burnout, and working at the hotel where The Shining was filmed.
Maxim Zhiganov has been exploring different aspects of sound for many years—first in relation to his native Perm and then on a broader, global scale. In this interview for the HSE Young Scientists project, he talks about sound maps, the special issue of the journal Logos, and why it is important to make the familiar less clear and obvious.

Rechargeable aprotic Li–CO2 batteries have aroused worldwide interest owing to their environmentally friendly CO2 fixation ability and ultra-high specific energy density. However, its practical applications are impeded by the sluggish reaction kinetics and discharge product accumulation during cycling. Herein, a flexible composite electrode comprising CoSe2 nanoparticles embedded in 3D carbonized melamine foam (CoSe2/CMF) for Li–CO2 batteries is reported. The ...

Solid-state photon emitters at room temperature appear to be promising candidates for a variety of nanophotonic applications. In this regard, coupling photon emitters with various optical cavities providing pronounced directivity, high photoexcitation and emission rates is extremely desirable. Here, we introduce the novel concept of deterministically coupling color centers in nanodiamonds (NDs) with gold nanopits. ...
