HSE International Centre for Research and Teaching (ICRT) in Mathematics, Computer Science and Technology was founded in 2019. The ICRT aims at improving the level of higher education in Russia in the above-named fields. The project was initiated and funded within the framework of the “Digital Economy” initiative of the Russian Federation government.
Mission and Structure
MISSION
Outreach activity of the ICRT is focused on programmes of retraining and professional growth for the faculty members and PhD students of Russian universities.
Professional growth means not only broadening and deepening the teaching philosophy but also involvement in high level research, participation in international research agenda and recognition from worldwide professional community.
More generally, activities of the ICRT serve to fostering new generation of university instructors better prepared for the challenges of modern digital world.
STRUCTURE
The ICRT core personnel is formed of some faculty and staff members of the HSE Faculty of Mathematics, Faculty of Computer Science, and the Tikhonov Moscow Institute of Electronics and Mathematics.
On the other hand, many HSE employees as well as colleagues from other academic organizations take leading parts in regular activities of the ICRT. These include HSE faculty representatives from campuses in Saint-Petersburg and Nizhny Novgorod.
Our team is truly international; it includes people with teaching/research background in the leading international centers including the USA, the UK, Canada, France, Italy, Finland, Japan.
Research
We analyze the best teaching practices of Russian and international universities and give recommendations based on this research.
New paradigms are being designed for core curricula in Mathematics, Informatics, Engineering, and other majors related to digital technology. These paradigms may sometimes redefine the corresponding majors according to the latest achievements in the fields and new challenges/requirements of modern high-technology job market.
New approaches to education are based on new intuitions related with ever-increasing influx of new ideas and alternative intuitional sources. Service courses of STEM disciplines for other majors play more important role today – they need refinement and customization. Related research and planning are performed by the ICRT together with experts from other, non-STEM areas.
International Activity
Research internships at the ICRT are offered to all students and young PhD holders, regardless of their origin. Supervision may be conducted in English or in Russian, upon request of the participants.
Most participants of the 2020 program Research Experience in Mathematics were students of foreign universities.
The ICRT is integrated into HSE University’s research and education plan; thus the point of contact may be any of the numerous international events held at HSE:
Together with colleagues from other global universities, we discuss and systemize new approaches to research and teaching, new education technologies. We invite international colleagues to share their expertise and vision of the development of mathematics, digital technologies, and education in these fields.
HSE recruits faculty and students internationally through open competitions:
