HSE University and Nauka Publishers Join Forces to Advance Science Communication and Creative Economy
HSE University and Nauka Publishers have signed a cooperation agreement. Nauka Publishers, Russia’s oldest scientific publishing house, which will celebrate its 300th anniversary next year, is also one of the largest in the world. Under the agreement, the parties will work together to promote the results of HSE University’s research and to advance science communication.
The parties agreed to organise joint events—such as seminars, conferences, round tables, and symposiums—and to implement collaborative projects, expeditions, and research initiatives.
One of the key areas of cooperation will be will be support for the promotion of Creative Industries R&D, a scientific journal headed by its editor-in-chief Tatiana Rivchun, Deputy Dean of the Faculty of Creative Industries and Director of the Institute for Creative Industries Development at HSE University.
'Our agreement envisions the promotion of Creative Industries R&D within both the academic community and the real sector of the economy. Advancement of the creative industries is currently one of the priorities of government policy. In this context, highlighting the results of research through Creative Industries R&D is an important shared objective,' according to Mikhail Fomin, Head of Nauka Publishers.
Modern science is inconceivable without scientific journals, which serve as the primary platform for publishing, reviewing, and archiving research, Tatiana Rivchun emphasises. 'Scientific journals have long played a key role in disseminating knowledge, validating research, and shaping the scientific community. Today, in the era of digitalisation, traditional journals continue to fulfil this role while adapting to open access and new formats of scholarly communication. For this reason, we have launched Creative Industries R&D, a new academic journal where we plan to publish articles by researchers from around the world in both Russian and English. The journal will be of interest not only to scholars specialising in the creative industries but also to a broader audience interested in the development of this integral sphere of modern society,' she said.
Creative Industries R&D is devoted to the study of mechanisms, methodologies, trends, and developments in the creative economy. The journal is intended for researchers, practitioners, educators, and students interested in understanding the role of creativity in driving global GDP growth through the advancement of the creative economy.

Scientists Train Neural Network to Generate Process Plans from 3D Models
Researchers at the HSE FCS AI and Digital Science Institute have developed CAD2TechSpec, a framework that converts 3D models of mechanical parts into machining process plans—step-by-step instructions for machine tools. The solution aims to reduce the time required for the design and preparation of technical process documentation in mechanical engineering, aircraft manufacturing, and other high-tech industries. The study findings have been published in PeerJ Computer Science.
Biologists Discover 'Molecular Fingerprint' of Preeclampsia
Researchers at HSE University employed a new method to model hypoxia in placental cells during pregnancies complicated by preeclampsia and identified molecular markers of tissue hypoxia. Since hypoxia is one of the key mechanisms underlying preeclampsia, these findings are important for a more accurate and timely diagnosis of the disease and for the development of effective treatment methods. The paper has been published in Placenta.
Laboratory of Future Networks: HSE Telecommunications Research Institute Develops 5G/6G Research Testbed
The 5G/6G testbed at the HSE Telecommunications Research Institute is becoming a research platform, an educational laboratory, and a foundation for developing new software components for future networks. It makes it possible not only to observe how a mobile network operates, but also to change its operating conditions and measure the results: data-transmission speed, latency, errors, radio-resource utilisation, and other parameters. Based on the testbed, researchers plan to develop MIMO, O-RAN, xApp, and IAB technologies, as well as experiment with artificial intelligence.
‘Hedgehog’ Versus ‘Relatives’: Researchers Measure How the Brain Responds to Unexpected Words During Natural Speech
Russian neurophysiologists, including researchers from HSE University, have demonstrated the feasibility of using event-related fields (ERFs) to study brain activity during natural speech perception. The researchers showed that this approach can be applied not only to individual words but also to continuous speech. Their findings indicate that words whose meanings differ significantly from the preceding context require longer processing times. The study also reveals that the brain processes function words in two stages: first, it identifies their grammatical role and then uses this information to predict the next word. The study has been published in Frontiers in Human Neuroscience.
Hybrid Intelligence: Competencies in the Age of AI Discussed at Technoprom-2026
Artificial intelligence is not creating new professions, but rather transforming the nature of existing ones. This was the conclusion reached by participants in the panel session ‘Hybrid Intelligence: Digital and Human Drivers of Development,’ organised by the Institute for Statistical Studies and Economics of Knowledge (ISSEK) at HSE University as part of the 13th International Forum of Technological Development (Technoprom-2026). The experts discussed how the nature of work is changing, which skills are becoming increasingly sought after, and what prevents companies from fully capitalising on new technologies.
