/PanARMENIAN.Net/ In the period from late January up to early
February 2010 State University Higher School of Economics, Moscow
(HSE) is holding winter schools for graduate and undergraduate
students on their 3-5 courses from universities of Russian Federation
and other CIS countries to present master programs on the following
areas of specialization: economics, management, business informatics,
international relations, political science, psychology, law, sociology,
mathematics, philosophy, journalism.

As a PanARMENIAN.Net correspondent reported from Moscow, for the first
time the winter school of HSE for the graduate and undergraduate
students of Russian universities and universities of the other CIS
countries was held in February 2009. The school was attended by over
300 students from different regions of Russian Federation and the
CIS countries, including Armenia. HSE is going to further extend the
number of budget places in the master courses. In this respect the
organization of winter Schools of HSE, which gives the opportunity for
students and graduates from Russian universities and the CIS countries
to meet with the university staff, lecturers and professors as well
as get acquainted with the master programs of HSE and develop their
professional knowledge, is becoming a good tradition. Winter School
of HSE 2010 is going to be held in guesthouses under Moscow, the cost
of educational and cultural programs, accommodation and meals as well
as transfer from Moscow to the guesthouses and back to Moscow is paid
by HSE. Official site of the SU-HSE offers more detailed
information about the winter schools.

HSE continues to develop the cooperation with Armenia in the sphere
of education and science within the framework of agreement signed in
July 2009 with "Rossotrudnichestvo" on international humanitarian
cooperation and development of educational and scientific programs
in the CIS countries. In late October 2009 the first visit of
Yerevan by the delegation of the HSE took place in the framework
of the above mentioned agreement. The trip was conducted within the
framework of the second Russian Industrial Exhibition "EXPO-RUSSIA
ARMENIA" in Yerevan. Meetings were held with the administration of
Russian-Armenian (Slavonic) University, Yerevan State University,
Yerevan State Engineering University, private higher educational
institutions of Yerevan. The development of the HSE cooperation with
universities in Armenia is going to be based on various projects:
joint seminars and conferences, including student conferences, joint
research and monitoring studies and so forth.
