January 7^th, 2015 Assoc. Prof. Dr. Sergei Erofeev, Vice-Rector at the National Research University - Higher School of Ecomonics (NRU - HSE), visited the University of Münster. Together with the Vice-Rectors Prof. Dr. Stephan Ludwig and Prof. Dr. Dr. h.c. Jörg Becker, Prof. h.c. (NRU - HSE, Moskau), as well as Ms. Martina Hofer from the International Office of the University of Münster, they discussed the possibilities of further extension of student exchange programs between NRU - HSE and University of Münster.

Since 2006, the Department of Information Systems at the University of Münster has strong collaboration ties with the department of Business Informatics at NRU – HSE. Since 2010, the students from either department can participate in the Double-Degree Master Program and since 2013 do an exchange semester. It is now planned that the students from other faculties at the University of Münster also have an opportunity to spend a semester abroad at NRU - HSE. Dr. Erofeev presented new programs for international students, such as “Semester in Moscow” (https://www.hse.ru/international/semester) and “Summer University” (https://www.hse.ru/international/summer). Bachelor and Master students studying Information Systems, Economics, Business Administration and Social Sciences are welcome to participate.
