2024: Opening a telecom workshop with Yadro

MIEM HSE and Yadro have opened a workshop in the field of telecom technologies. This was reported on February 16, 2024 at the Higher School of Economics.

The workshop "Mathematical Algorithms and Modeling in Telecommunications" is a joint project of the Moscow Institute of Electronics and Mathematics named after A.N. Tikhonov of the National Research University "Higher School of Economics" (MIEM HSE) and Yadro.

Students who have successfully passed the selection, under the guidance of teachers of the Higher School of Economics and experts from Yadro, will work on solving practical problems for the development, optimization and modeling of mathematical algorithms used in modern mobile networks of the 4th and 5th generations. In addition, all workshop participants will receive a monthly scholarship from Yadro.

The Yadro educational track will complement the undergraduate programs of the IIEM HSE, which will allow students of different courses to gain theoretical knowledge and practical skills that are in demand in the field of telecommunications and are necessary for a successful career. In addition, teamwork will be another step in the implementation of practice-oriented study at the university, which also includes the opportunity for well-established students to complete an internship at Yadro.

"The opening of the workshop was another step in the development of cooperation between Yadro and MIEM HSE. Advanced mobile technologies are promising areas of high-tech production, in which it is extremely important to increase competencies. We appreciate the opportunity to directly learn what knowledge and skills a potential employer wants to see from young specialists, and we expect that our cooperation will provide a high level of training for specialists in the field of telecom technologies, "said Evgeny Kruk, scientific director and director of MIEM NIU.

"Our cooperation with MIEM is aimed at popularizing promising telecom technologies, as well as the profession of engineer in telecom development. The Yadro educational track will combine the experience of company experts and university teachers. Together with project work in the new Workshop, this will allow future specialists to gain knowledge and practical skills in one of the fastest growing industries, "said Evgeny Maksimov, director of ecosystem development and educational initiatives at Yadro.

2017: Launch of the named scholarship program InfoWatch

On September 4, 2017, InfoWatch Group of Companies (GC) announced the launch of a personalized scholarship program at the Moscow Institute of Electronics and Mathematics of the National Research University Higher School of Economics (IIEM HSE), which is aimed at supporting and developing the intellectual and creative potential of students of technical specialties in the field of information security.

According to Natalia Kasperskaya, President of InfoWatch Group of Companies, the best second and third-year students of the university who are interested in the IT field will receive personal InfoWatch scholarships annually. According to the results of three stages of the competition, 10 university students will be selected annually, the best of whom will become scholarship holders of the company directly, and several more people will remain in the program reserve.

One of the main goals of the InfoWatch scholarship is to support specialized training of highly qualified personnel in the field of information security, "said Natalya Kasperskaya, president of the InfoWatch group of companies. - Despite the fact that everyone knows about the importance of information security in the modern digital world, Russia is still experiencing a personnel shortage in this area. I hope that our scholarship will help talented children who are interested in information security and related areas to develop their knowledge and skills, continue to conduct research activities. I am especially pleased that MIEM students will become fellows of the company, and InfoWatch will thus support the high reputation of my native alma mater.

Students who study at the budget department of the Higher School of Economics and do not have grades below "Good" in the last two (before the competition) modules of the year can take part in the InfoWatch scholarship program. In addition, the applicant will have to write project work on one of nine topics: computer networks, microcontrollers and robotics, the Internet of Things, information security, wireless sensor networks, programming for the Internet, applications for mobile devices, quantum algorithms, mathematical modeling and optimization. The selection of candidates will be carried out by a special commission, which will include representatives of InfoWatch and program coordinators from the IIEM HSE. Each finalist of the competition will receive 15 thousand rubles a month during the year.

In 2016, Natalya Kasperskaya and the management of IIEM HSE signed a framework agreement on cooperation between the company and the university. The launch of the scholarship program was the next stage in the development of comprehensive cooperation between InfoWatch Group of Companies and IIEM HSE. The plans for 2018, within the framework of the cooperation agreement, define the creation at the IIEM HSE of a specialized department of information security, the graduates of which should in the future make up the intellectual core of InfoWatch Group of Companies.

Training specialists in the field of information technology, including security and security, is a priority, the solution of which will be focused in the near future. In this regard, cooperation with InfoWatch Group of Companies is considered by MIEM as a driver of one of the strategic directions of the university's development, "said Evgeny Kruk, director of the MIEM HSE, professor, doctor of technical sciences.
