Good morning everybody! If you missed yesterday’s address of Dean Katkalo - here it is, with English subtitles https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9-fRafTMKaI&feature=youtu.be

Classes start next week and here is a very useful resource, developed by GSB students @hsefoodguide_bot. It shows you all cafeterias, cafes, fast food places and restaurants near HSE University campuses. We tried it and it rocks! The development of the app was supported financially during the Spring round of student-run projects. The Fall round is currently on. If you have the ideas - do not hesitate to apply for financial support https://gsb.hse.ru/projectscompetition

Time flies and MIM students completed the first course in the program! It was a challenging, but also a very rewarding start of the program.
«Any economic decision in this globally connected world is a risky one – says Prof. Akoz Kemal Kivanc, who’s been teaching this course in MIM’s inaugural year. – Economics, as a science, may not perfectly predict the future and eliminate the risks, but does provide a solid conceptual framework to understand some of the key components of the dynamics of the global economy. The course 'International Economics' aims to introduce the basic tools that have been developed in Economic theory.” Prof. Kivanc admits that the course brought him a very positive, invaluable experience: “During the lectures, we discussed various economic models and their real-life implications along with their limitations within the context of international trade and macroeconomics. It is a privilege to do these discussions with the energetic, sharp, and diverse group of students of the MIM program in HSE». Congrats with the achievement!

It’s a Rainy Sunday in Moscow and if you were looking for an excuse to stay under the blanket with a cup of a warm tea - here it is.

Demand for MIM programs is growing, reflecting the opportunity cost of obtaining a postgraduate business qualification and investing into the future in the times of global turbulence, says FT.

Happy Students Day, everybody! In 1885, Checkov wrote about Tatiana Day, "This year everything was drunk, except the water from the Moscow river, and only because it was frozen".

Later in the day, many students host or attend parties and public events.

Program’s ambassadors are organizing an online information session about the program. February, 2, 19.30 Moscow time, online.
