GSB experience for exchange students

In 2021 the Russian borders remain closed for foreign students, making them unable to enter the country. Still, students from GSB partner universities will spend their exchange semester at HSE University in an online format while remaining at home. Academically students will be involved in HSE live and will attend online classes together with other HSE students. However, such format has certain restrains in terms of social life and leaves exchange students with nearly no immersion into the culture of the university, city and country.

The project aims to engage exchange students into social life of HSE University, give them a sense of belonging and make them an integral part of the multinational HSE student body. This primarily involves direct communication with GSB students on academic and non-academic matters, participation in online student events and other extracurricular activities.
