How are universities, vocational education systems, and research training responding to new economic, technological, and social challenges? These questions were at the centre of the international forum, “Reconfiguring Education in a Changing World: Russia–China Dialogues on Higher Education, Skills, and Research Training,” held on 12 June at the Graduate School of Education at Peking University.

Ksenia Tarasova and Daria Gracheva, from the Centre for Psychometrics and Measurement in Education, along with PhD student Nataliia Murashova, represented the HSE Institute of Education at the 2nd International Conference on Artificial Intelligence and Education (ICAIE 2026), held from 13 to 15 May in Taicang, China.

What is it like to build a research career at the Institute of Education as an international scholar? What motivates ongoing engagement in research? And how easy is it to maintain a work–life balance while living in Moscow? To gain insight into the academic careers of our international colleagues and daily life in Russia, we spoke with Assistant Professor Nazir Jogezai.
