HSE University is pleased to announce a call for proposals to take part in the 23^rd International Academic Conference on Economic and Social Development. Following the decision of the University’s Academic Council, starting from 2022, the Conference will be called the Yasin Conference in honour of Evgeny Yasin, the Honorary Academic Supervisor of HSE University, who launched the Conference, which has become a major annual academic event in Russia in the social sciences (as we know it now).

The key events under the 23^rd Yasin (April) International Academic Conference on Economic and Social Development (23^rd Yasin Conference) will take place in Moscow from April 4 until April 8, 2022. Proposals to present reports at the Conference’s sections shall be accepted from October 12 until November 25, 2021. 

At sections under the 23^rd Yasin Conference, reports will be presented and discussed on the results of recent academic research, selected through reviews of proposals (the requirements for which can be found below). In addition, the Conference will include expert discussions on the most pressing problems in regards to economic and social policies, involving leading Russian and global specialists and public officials, as well as honorary reports presented by academics from all over the world and various associated events. The Conference’s events will be held in Russian or English; certain discussions will be bilingual and supported by simultaneous translation.

Furthermore, bearing in mind that epidemiological restrictions may still be in effect, the 23^rd Yasin Conference will be held in hybrid form, which, in turn, will also help us to attract more participants from all over Russia and the world. All speakers will have the option to make their presentations online. The Conference Organizing Committee will decide by March 1, 2022 whether all or some sessions will be held in-person, with due consideration of the current COVID-19  situation and other circumstances. When filing your applications, please specify the preferred format for taking part in the Conference.

The Conference will uphold its tradition by holding roundtables and special sessions covering various current issues relating to the global and domestic academic agenda; all relevant information will be posted shortly. Please make sure to follow all updates about the planned events under the 23^rd Yasin (April) International Academic Conference on Social and Economic Development (23^rd Yasin Conference).
