In June 2017, the SERU Research Symposium devoted to opportunities and challenges of higher education in the world was held at the Rutgers University, USA. 
At the Symposium the CSHE representatives made the following presentations: "Portrait of multi-engaged students", "Fostering a Global Minset of students at US research universities", "Update on gradSERU". Also, the participants discussed the gradSERU assessment tool, opportunities to extend the international cooperation and drafted the future research projects.

In May 2014, HSE hosted the second conference of the SERU-I Consortium entitled ‘A Comparative International View of the Student Experience in Research Universities’.
