Within the framework of the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum – 2025, the Higher School of Economics and the Government of the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug signed an agreement on strategic cooperation. The document was signed by the First Deputy Governor of the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug Irina Novoselova and the Director HSE University – Saint Petersburg Anna Tyshetskaya. The agreement is aimed at developing scientific research activities, improving the quality of education and training personnel in accordance with the priorities of the socio-economic development of the region.
“The main focus of our agreement is to support school education in Yamal. Yamal-Nenets Autonomous Okrug and HSE are long-standing partners, but for the St. Petersburg campus, this is a new stage in building systemic interaction. Starting in September, 120 high school students in the region will be involved in additional education programs in IT and creative industries. In the new academic year, 60 teachers of the humanities and social sciences will take advanced training courses at the Higher School of Economics in St. Petersburg. We also plan to organize special shifts for high school students at our university. The success of any region begins with high-quality school education, with the environment where motivated young people are formed. And we are grateful to our partner for trusting us with the most valuable thing – their future,” said Anna Tyshetskaya, Director of the National Research University Higher School of Economics – St. Petersburg.
The signing of the agreement was a continuation of the strategic cooperation between HSE and the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug. In 2024, HSE students were given the opportunity to complete internships in the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug authorities as part of the GosVyshka project. In early 2025, the university’s experts took part in developing design solutions for the modernization of the Yamal College in Salekhard, and in the summer, HSE – St. Petersburg held an educational intensive course for 50 students from diplomatic classes in Yamal schools.
“The Higher School of Economics and Yamal have been linked by years of friendship and effective partnership. We have jointly developed concepts for modern student campuses in Salekhard and Tarko-Sale, and prepared programs for the personnel project “YASHKR. Education”. The signing of the agreement will allow us to strengthen our work to improve the quality of general and vocational education in Yamal. The cooperation will be mutually beneficial. HSE students will be able to complete an internship in our district – they will receive practical skills that will open up career opportunities even before graduating from the university,” said Irina Novoselova, First Deputy Governor of the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug.
The HSE University in Saint Petersburg will act as the coordinator of key educational projects. The university will implement specialized and educational programs for Yamal schoolchildren, teachers and managers. The Center for Pre-University Programs and Projects will participate in the project “Educational Certificate for High School Students” aimed at developing talented schoolchildren. In addition, the Saint Petersburg HSE will become a place for exchanging experience and providing methodological support to teaching and management personnel of Yamal.
The signing of the agreement with the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug confirms the systematic approach of the HSE University to strengthening educational and scientific partnerships with the regions of Russia. Over the past three years, the university has begun implementing strategic projects in the Pskov, Novgorod, Murmansk, Lipetsk, Smolensk regions, the Republic of North Ossetia-Alania and other regions.
