HSE University has signed a cooperation agreement with the leading Mexican Panamerican University (Universidad Panamericana, UP). The document was signed upon an initiative of HSE University-St Petersburg during the academic mission of HSE University to Latin America.

In 2024, HSE University-St Petersburg will open the new educational track 'Interior Design' as part of the Master's programme 'Design'. Its curator will be Andrey Punin, artist, architect, and main curator of the Bachelor's track 'Environment and Interior'.

HSE University in St Petersburg and University of Technology Malaysia (UTM) have launched a mirror lab in social entrepreneurship. The agreement was signed in Kuala Lumpur on November 9 during a meeting of the Joint Russian-Malaysian Commission on Economic, Scientific, Technical and Cultural Cooperation. The document was signed by Anna Tyshetskaya, Director of HSE University-St Petersburg, and Rosli Illias, UTM Deputy Vice Chancellor for Research & Innovation.

From 2024, applicants to the HSE University-St Petersburg Art and Design School will be able to choose a new educational track in Fashion Design—a unique programme in the city's fashion industry.

On November 7, a representative office of HSE University opened in Indonesia. It is a new educational hub for students from the Asia-Pacific (APAC) who are planning to study in Russia, as well as for other Russian universities looking to establish ties with Indonesia. The representative office is based at Sepuluh Nopember Institute of Technology (ITS) in the city of Surabaya. Its operations are supervised by the HSE University campus in St Petersburg.

HSE University will develop academic cooperation with Indian universities. This is what the delegation of HSE University-St Petersburg headed by Anna Tyshetskaya, Campus Director, agreed on with several leading universities in India: the University of Delhi, Indian Institute of Technology (IIT Delhi) and Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU).

During a visit to the Indian Institute of Management Indore (IIM Indore) by a HSE University-St Petersburg delegation led by campus Director Anna Tyshetskaya, the two universities agreed to create a mirror laboratory in the sphere of environmental behaviour, social well-being, and responsibility management.
