For participants with a report

Section reports must describe the results of original research, which is carried out with the use of contemporary methodologies. Report presentations should come to between 10 and 15 minutes.

The final deadline for filing proposals online via the HSE University’s Conference system is iMonday, January 20, 2025.

Proposals must be accompanied by detailed abstracts. Please refer to the requirements for formatting report abstracts below:

• abstracts shall clearly state a problem at hand, as well as levels at which it has been analyzed, the research methods, key findings, their novelty and validity;  
• in Word or RTF formats;
• symbol count: between 2,000 and 7,000 symbols;
• for Russian-language reports, abstracts must be written in both Russian and English, while for English-language reports – in English only.

Speakers may present one individual report and a maximum of two co-authored papers.

A team of authors for individual proposals, which should be registered with the HSE University Conference system, may, up until Monday, January 20, 2025., inform the Programme Committee about their intentions to present reports during the same session. To this end, they need to fill in a group application form via the HSE University’s Conference system. 

Group proposals should satisfy the following requirements:

• from three up to five reports during a given session;
• up to two reports, presented on behalf of the same organization;
• all individual proposals must be registered in the Conference system.

After the submission of applications on respective Conference topics, one or several sections will be formed for each area. Each section, in turn, is divided into sessions, each coming to 90 minutes. Proposals with respect to shaping sessions’ contents may be considered by the Programme Committee when reviewing proposals and drawing up the Conference programme.

Proposals will be selected in three stages as follows:

1. removing those proposals which do not meet the aforementioned formatting criteria;
2. expert assessments of abstracts with a focus on the novelty and validity of results (a proposal can be included into another topical area by the decision of heads of an expert group);
3. decisions on the part of the Programme Committee in regards to the inclusion of reports in the Conference’s programme based on expert assessments.

Candidates will be informed about decisions to include reports in the programme for the 25^th Yasin Conference or decline proposals as soon as the expert review outcomes are available, but no later than by Wednesday, March 19, 2025. 

Authors of reports, selected for presentation at the Conference, must confirm their participation by Wednesday, March 26, 2025 (inclusive), via their personal account in the HSE University Conference system, and then, by Friday, April 4, 2025 (inclusive), upload presentation slides in English to their personal account. This process serves as a prerequisite for the inclusion of reports in the final version of the programme.
