Irina Polyakova

Research Assistant: HSE Campus in Perm / International Laboratory of Intangible-driven Economy

It was my first time at such a scientific event. Especially interesting were the sections on microeconomics and game theory, as well as those dedicated to collective decision making. It was interesting to meet colleagues from other campuses (including HSE), get valuable feedback and find new research interests and potential research topics

The Russian Economic Congress was extremely positive for me! First, I was able to receive valuable feedback on my research, which I will definitely consider in my further work on my dissertation. Secondly, I was very inspired by my colleagues' research (especially in the "Values" section moderated by Alexey Vladimirovich Belyanin). Thirdly, I was delighted to observe the performances of our trainees - they demonstrated a high level of expertise and represented themselves very well compared to other participants. Additionally, I was extremely pleased that my work was recognized with a diploma from the "Conference of Young Scientists". Now, with this positive momentum from the Congress, I am preparing for the Candidate's Minimum, which will take place in early October!
