International Cooperation

The modular structure in education and European credit transfer system along with the innovative model of historical education applied at the HSE have opened up great new opportunities for collaboration between the Faculty of History and leading international universities and research centres.

We aim to organize joint research projects and student and lecturer exchange programmes with both European and American universities, as well as joint postgraduate and PhD programmes.

Researchers at our faculty work together with many leading European and American centres and research organisations, including Stanford University, the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor; Harvard University, the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill; the University of California, Berkeley; the University of California, Los Angeles; The City University of New York, Columbia University, University in Tübingen, the University of London, Paris-Sorbonne University, the University of Beijing, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, The American Council of Learned Societies,  The American Association for the Advancement of Slavic Studies, The International Commission for the History of Towns, The International Humanities Association, and the US State Holocaust Memorial Museum.

Many faculty lecturers have worked as visiting professors in European and American universities, including Paris-Sorbonne University (France), University in Tübingen (Germany), Stanford University (USA), University of Warsaw (Polland), Carnegie Mellon University (USA), the universities of Frankfurt, London, Palermo, Mainz, Lausanne, Naples, Leiden and Venice as well as many others. 

Professors and lecturers of the faculty are regular participants in large international research projects and scientific conferences, including ‘Transfer and Adaptation of Western Ideas in Russian Intellectual Culture’ (Gerda Henkel Foundation, Germany, Professor E. Vishlenkova), ‘Culture and Everyday Life of Russian Provincial Nobility in the 18th Century’ (German Historical Institute Moscow, Associate Professor G. Babkova, Associate Professor E. Akeliev, Associate Professor V. Borisov), ‘Comparative History’ (Central European University, Hungary, Associate Professor G. Babkova), ‘Russian-Jewish Berlin: Problems of Adaptation of the Immigrant Community (1920-1933)’ (Russian Foundation for Humanities and German Research Foundation, Professor O. Budnitskii).

The HSE Faculty of History has close ties with The School of Slavonic and East European Studies at University College London (UK), The University of Toronto (Canada), The University of Basel (Switzerland), Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich (Germany), Sotheby's Institute of Art (UK) and many others. These institutions work with us to organize joint research events and exchange students and lecturers.

Currently, negotiations are being held with the HSE Institute of History Theoretic Research in Humanities, HSE Faculty of Philosophy and Warsaw University on the creation of a joint Russian-Polish academic forum, leading to joint conferences and research projects. In addition to this, there are also currently negotiations on joint research projects with a number of US and European universities.
