From Science Fiction to Designing the Future: Annual Foresight Conference Commences at HSE University
This week, researchers from all over the world have gathered online for the 10th annual International Academic Conference ‘Foresight and STI Policy’ at HSE University. One of the cross-cutting themes of the anniversary forum, which will be held from November 9 to 13, is lessons learned from the pandemic and the crisis’s effects in future scenarios.
From November 9 – 13, the HSE Institute for Statistical Studies and Economics of Knowledge is organizing its Tenth International Academic Conference ‘Foresight and STI Policy’. The conference has been acknowledged by OECD as one of the world’s most important forums of foresight researchers. It will the tenth time that the conference brings together Russian and international experts from the leading think tanks, research centres and universities, national ministries and government bodies, development institutes and high-tech companies from over 20 countries.
The Issue 6 prepared by the HSE Institute for Statistical Studies and Economics of Knowledge as part of Russian Cluster Observatory activities is dedicated to the assessment of innovation development of Russian regions on the basis of ranking scores.
The pandemic has put global development on hold and this is a chance for Russia to occupy market niches that were previously closed. But innovation should become as essential as air and, without information technology, new niches will still not be open. Alexander Chulok, Director of the HSE University Centre for Science and Technology Foresight, spoke about this in a special report at the global conference' Accelerate Global 2020’.
According to HSE University’s Global Cities Innovation Index, New York and London are the world’s most attractive megacities to innovators implementing creative and technological initiatives. Moscow ranked among the rating’s top ten cities, leading in the areas of ‘Innovation Infrastructure’ and ‘Digital Infrastructure and Services’. HSE researchers presented the index at this year’s Open Innovations Forum.
HSE University to Present Its New HSE Global Cities Innovation Index at the Open Innovations Forum 2020
On October 19, the first public presentation and discussion of the HSE Global Cities Innovation Index will take place at this year’s international Open Innovations Forum. The index, developed by HSE University researchers, is the first of its kind.
In 2020 the world changed, and so did HSE. Classes were held over Zoom, exams were taken online with proctoring, Meladze performed online at the graduation ceremony, and HSE Day became Brand New. The festival’s main stage area was called ‘HSE PRO Future’—because, after all, the future is important for any university. It’s why we do what we do. Read on to find out what the next 10 years hold in store for HSE, and what HSE, which has already changed this year, holds in store for us. Below are 10 promises made by HSE on its most important day.
As the situation with COVID-19 has shown, mistakes associated with insufficiently developed policy measures in medicine, science, education and other socially significant sectors of the economy are very costly for society. In the July issue of Nature, First Vice-Rector, HSE ISSEK Director Leonid Gokhberg discussed the topic of the growing practice of making management decisions based on big data analysis.
Within the first two months of the lockdown, COVID-19 had crippled almost all key production aspects of Russian industry. Although the economic fall began to abate in May, economic growth relative to that of 2019 may not be regained until 2022. The Centre for Business Tendencies Studies of the HSE ISSEK studied the results of a survey conducted in May by the Federal Service of State Statistics of four thousand managers of Russian industrial enterprises. The key outcomes and results are available in 'Theses' on IQ.HSE.
What does patent activity tell us? Until 2018, Russia conducted its anti-coronavirus studies only for veterinary purposes at the VECTOR State Research Center of Virology and Biotechnology in Novosibirsk, which filed only two requests for corresponding patents. All of this and so much more has been shown in a patent analysis, which Ekaterina Streltsova, a senior research fellow of the HSE ISSEK, discusses a column for IQ.


Jaime Garcia can finally spot the finish line.
The 26-year-old left-hander made his second minor league rehab start on Saturday evening at Double-A Springfield, surrendering just one run on two hits over 4 1/3 impressive innings. He struck out six and did not issue a walk while inducing six groundball outs.
According to Kary Booher of the Springfield News-Leader, Garcia is scheduled to make a third rehab start on Thursday. If that goes smoothly, he could be activated from the disabled list and cleared to rejoin the St. Louis staring rotation five days later.
That will mean pushing Joe Kelly or Lance Lynn into a middle relief gig.
Garcia had an underwhelming 4.48 ERA and 1.46 WHIP in 66 1/3 innings this season before hitting the shelf, but his career ERA is 3.45 and his career WHIP is 1.34. He struck out 156 batters in 32 starts last year.
Pirates infielder Gift Ngoepe, just called up from Triple-A Indianapolis, singled in his first major league at-bat on Wednesday evening against Cubs starter Jon Lester. It was a well-struck ground ball up the middle in the bottom of the fourth inning. Unfortunately for him, the Pirates could not bring him around to score.
Ngoepe, who was pinch-hitting, stayed in the game to play second base.
Diamondbacks starter Shelby Miller was placed on the 10-day disabled list on Monday due to inflammation in his right elbow. He had a second opinion from Dr. Neal ElAttrache on Tuesday and is currently awaiting a third opinion from Dr. James Andrews, Craig Grialou of Arizona Sports reports. That he’s getting a third opinion seems to imply that Miller’s elbow issue is rather serious.
Miller, 26, hasn’t been able to catch a break since joining the Diamondbacks. Last year’s nightmarish season included a finger injury stemming from mechanical woes and a brief demotion to the minor leagues. In 20 starts in the majors last year, Miller posted an ugly 6.15 ERA. This year, his ERA is a mediocre 4.09 over four starts.
The Diamondbacks called up Zack Godley to take Miller’s spot in the rotation. There was some speculation that it would be Archie Bradley instead, but he’s been working out of the bullpen.


This week, Apple announced a new generation of 13-inch and 15-inch MacBook Air based on the M3 processor. Customers can order the new MacBook Air starting Monday, and those orders are now finally shipping worldwide.
M3 MacBook Air arrives to customers
As reported by many people on social networks, the first orders of the MacBook Air M3 are already shipping to customers. In countries like Australia and Japan, retailers are already selling the new laptops, with the official launch scheduled for this Friday, March 8th. The launch comes a day after Apple sent review models to journalists and authors.
The biggest news about the new 13-inch and 15-inch MacBook Air is the M3 chip. This chip was introduced in the new MacBook Pro and iMac last year. Based on 3nm technology, the M3 chip is 60% faster than the M1 chip and offers technologies such as hardware-accelerated ray tracing, which improves the performance of games and other 3D applications.
With the M3 chip, the MacBook Air can now be configured with up to 24GB of RAM and an SSD of up to 8TB. The entry-level model has an 8-core GPU, but customers can opt for a more powerful 10-core graphics processor. Apple highlights that the M3 chip is also ideal for working with AI.
The new MacBooks are available in midnight, starlight, space gray, and silver. The midnight version features a new anodization seal to reduce visible fingerprints, as previously introduced on the M3 MacBook Pro last fall.
Prices start at $1,099 for the 13-inch version and $1,299 for the 15-inch version in the US. Apple is still selling the 13-inch M2 MacBook Air for $999. However, you can find better MacBook Air deals on Amazon.

Politicians have held the nation to ransom over routine staff movements and internal restructuring at the Central Bank of Nigeria for a while. Still, it is time to call a halt to the agitation.
Fifty-eight senators under the umbrella of the Northern Senators Forum kicked against the plan by the Central Bank of Nigeria to move a strategic department and functions closer to stakeholders and clients in Lagos from the headquarters in Abuja. Senator Suleiman Kawu of Kano State leads the group. At the same time, Senator Ali Ndume of Borno South threatened “political consequences” against President Bola Ahmed Tinubu should the Federal Government implement the plans.
Late last year, the Central Bank of Nigeria mooted a plan to decongest its headquarters, which was said to carry more staff than intended. There was also an economic rationale for the planned movement. The Central Bank has a new under-utilised office in Lagos; the departments involved are customer-facing, with their customers mainly domiciled in Lagos.
The internal memo of the CBN informed its staff that it initiated “a decongestion action plan designed to optimise the operational environment of the Bank. This initiative aims to ensure compliance with building safety standards and enhance the efficient utilisation of our office space.”
The memo added, “This action is necessitated by several factors, including the need to align the Bank’s structure with its functions and objectives, redistribute skills to ensure a more even geographical spread of talent, and comply with building regulations, as indicated by repeated warnings from the Facility Manager, and the findings and recommendations of the Committee on Decongestion of the CBN Head Office.”
“Businessday believes the Federal Government should attend to the matter with utmost discretion, seriousness, and firmness.”
It is significant to note that the move by the Yemi Cardoso-led Central Bank of Nigeria to relocate the Department of Banking Supervision of the Central Bank of Nigeria to Lagos is borne out of operational necessity and strategic imperative. The Banking Supervision Department oversees the operations of Nigeria’s commercial and merchant banks, with their headquarters in Lagos. Departments moving include Other Financial Institutions Supervision, Consumer Protection, Payment System Management and Financial Policy Regulations.
While the storm raged, a former Central Bank governor, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, publicly counselled all parties to let the Central Bank run its operations without political interference. In a widely circulated post on social media, Sanusi affirmed that “moving certain functions to the Lagos office (which is bigger than the Abuja head office) is an eminently sensible move”.
Sanusi added: “What I would have done was to move FSS and most of Operations to Lagos such that the two Deputy Governors would be largely operating out of Lagos or, even if they were more in Abuja, the bulk of their operational staff would be in Lagos. Economic Policy, Corporate Services and all the departments reporting to the Governor directly, such as Strategy, Audit, Risk Management, Governor’s Office, etc, would remain in Abuja. It makes eminent strategic sense. And I would have done this if I had stayed.”
Sanusi averred, “All this noise is absolutely unnecessary. The CBN has staff manning its branches and cash offices across the federation. Moving staff to the Lagos office to streamline operations, make them more effective and reduce cost is a normal management prerogative.”
The storm raises several issues of significance at the heart of the national question. The issues involved include economic rationality versus political considerations, the status of the federal capital territory, and the utility or otherwise of the planned movements.
According to the 58 senators, the North considers taking any federal department or office out of Abuja anti-North. They also found a way to chip in a complaint about the alleged improper “distribution and allocation of resources in the 2024 budget” detrimental to the North.
Businessday believes the Federal Government should attend to the matter with utmost discretion, seriousness, and firmness. It speaks to the divisions of Nigeria and our fragility. Handle with care and love.
A second consideration is ensuring that the matter is not a red herring to divert attention from the severe challenges citizens confront. The challenge is existential. For the first time, Nigerians face the threat of hunger from inflation, inadequate supply of food, and insecurity.
Members of the government, whether executive or legislative, should tackle the problems of Nigeria rather than fan the divisions of Nigeria.
We draw the attention of the Federal Government and the dissenting Northern senators to a crucial consideration. Is the location of federal government departments and agencies a priority in today’s Nigeria? Whose interest does the storm serve?
Other questions flow from there. It is curious that 50 years down the line from its creation as a centre of unity not beholden to any ethnicity, some Nigerians now claim Abuja as belonging to the North. General Murtala Muhammed must squirm wherever he is. The concept of Abuja was for a neutral zone in the country’s geographical centre.
The Central Bank of Nigeria has many challenges to confront and tackle. All parties should allow the bank to concentrate on its core tasks. Stop the politicisation of internal matters of the Central Bank.

The purpose of this paper is to explore the nature and interplay of the logics that inform the day-to-day work of small cultural productions. Positioned in the literature on cultural and creative industries, it embraces a discourse perspective and in particular the concept of “polyphony” as an analytical lens. Empirically, the paper draws on a case study of a music association, in which the authors especially followed the production of a music festival. What emerges is a situation of pluralism of discourses, a variety of relations among these discourses, and fluidity of discourses across actors and roles, which lead the authors to question, at least in part, the presupposed artistic vs. business dualism within which cultural productions and creative industries are instead typically framed.
