Ekaterina Rozhina was awarded the highest award in the field of economics

Ekaterina Rozhina, a 2nd year student of the master's programme “Applied and International Economics”, is making great progress in research work, her work was awarded the medal of the Russian Academy of Sciences for students in the field of Economics. We are infinitely happy for Ekaterina and her supervisor Rogneda Vasilyeva, because this award is the only one in the whole country.

Ekaterina Rozhina shared why she received the medal: “To participate in the competition, I sent a scientific work on the topic “Assessment of the impact of ethnic diversity on economic diversification in the regions of Russia”. The problem of economic diversification is very relevant for our country. In considering this problem, it is worth taking into account the number of regions of the country in which a large number of people of different religions and nationalities live, who in turn form the well-being and characteristics of their region, based on their traditions. Thus, the study revealed a positive impact of the number of religions represented in the region on the diversification of the economy, and the ethnic diversity and the number of official languages of the region have an impact on economic concentration.”

We are sure that Ekaterina's example will inspire our students to be more courageous and open - to tell the world about their small and big discoveries by participating in competitions and making publications.

“This medal, awarded by the Russian Academy of Sciences, is of great importance, as it is an important recognition of my scientific achievements. This inspires further research and the search for new knowledge. I am deeply grateful for the support and guidance of my scientific path to my supervisor, Rogneda Vasilyeva, without whom this victory would not have been possible, ”Ekaterina emphasized.

 

Congratulations to Ekaterina and Rogneda Vasilyeva, we wish you new scientific and professional victories!
