Summer is traditionally a busy time for international research visits for colleagues at the International Laboratory of Research and Design in eLearning. This year, the Laboratory’s researchers presented their work at two major European education conferences.

Around 800 researchers from 40 countries gathered at the 2026 International Meeting of the Psychometric Society (IMPS) at Yonsei University in Seoul, Republic of Korea. Moses Omopekunola presented a collaborative study by the Centre for Psychometrics and Measurement in Education, which sparked a lively discussion and received encouraging feedback from the international research community.

In June, Madina Davlatova, Deputy Director of the Department of Educational Programmes at the HSE Institute of Education, completed a research internship at Beijing Normal University (BNU). The visit focused on exploring transformations in teaching and learning practices in the age of artificial intelligence, as well as studying international approaches to researching the impact of AI on education.

AI, digital learning, and educational innovation were at the centre of discussions during a visit by colleagues from Beijing Normal University (BNU) and UNESCO's Institute for Information Technologies in Education (UNESCO IITE) to the HSE Institute of Education. The meeting highlighted the complementary research priorities of the two institutions and opened new opportunities for collaboration spanning research, educational programmes, and support for educational innovators.

In early June, Anna Kobtseva and Natalia Isaeva visited Hong Kong to strengthen collaboration with leading universities, discuss opportunities for joint educational programmes, and take part in an international dialogue on the future of educational leadership.

Natalia Rozenfeld, a Junior Research Fellow and Doctoral Student at the HSE Institute of Education's Centre for Vocational Education and Skills Development, presented her research at the 2026 Annual Conference of the European Consortium for Sociological Research (ECSR), which was held at Trinity College Dublin. Taking place on 15–17 June, the conference focused on how social institutions shape inequality in education, employment, and other areas of life, bringing together researchers who study the ways societies respond to growing uncertainty and structural change.

On 9 June, as part of the HSE Open Seminar on Education, Professor Futao Huang from Hiroshima University delivered a keynote talk  entitled ‘Rethinking the Internationalisation of Higher Education in the Context of Geopolitical Shifts: Comparative Perspectives from Asia and the West’. The seminar explored how major higher education systems in Asia and the West are redefining internationalisation in response to evolving geopolitical, technological and demographic changes.

How are universities, vocational education systems, and researcher training programmes evolving in response to new challenges? These questions were at the heart of the international forum ‘Reconfiguring Education in a Changing World: Russia–China Dialogues on Higher Education, Skills, and Research Training’, held in China in mid-June. The event was jointly organised by the HSE Institute of Education and the Graduate School of Education of Peking University, which hosted the forum on its campus.

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.

From 13 to 21 May 2026, Alexey Obukhov, a Leading Expert at the Pinsky Centre of General and Extracurricular Education at the HSE Institute of Education, participated in a series of educational and professional events in Moulay Rachid youth complex in Bouznika, as part of the 2nd National Science Exhibition.
