Competition to create original interdisciplinary curriculum programmes

Objective of the competition: to encourage implementing the results of interdisciplinary research projects into the educational process and to overcome the narrow professional focus that is inherent in most specialized disciplines.

The size of the programme is no less than 0.5 author’s sheets (no less than 20,000 characters). The programme must comply with established academic requirements, but also organically combine different disciplinary areas.

As part of the project, funds from the Fund for Educational Innovation will support programme development in the event of its implementation (teaching) as part of the working curriculum.

Applications may be submitted by staff instructors at the HSE and its branches, as well as staff members of the HSE and its branches who teach as a secondary job. Applications can be collective only and be submitted by authors who work as instructors in different faculties and schools of the HSE.
