Within the framework of the Moscow International Education Fair (MMCO.EXPO), the 'Investment in the Future' Charitable Foundation and the Higher School of Economics (HSE) signed an agreement on cooperation for the creation and development of a world-class research center, the 'Center for Cross-Disciplinary Research of Human Potential'. The organizations will conduct joint research in matters of studying the human and the personality potential, creating tools for measuring and developing such potential. The results of such joint activity will allow designing new teaching methods, teaching aids, and roll out accumulated experience across educational hubs in Russia and abroad.
The document was signed by Peter Polozhevets, Executive Director of the Foundation, and Lilya Ovcharova, Vice-Rector of HSE.
According to Peter Polozhevets, Executive Director of the Foundation, 'personality advancement is a key element of a successful and balanced life. A tailored approach to everyone will allow stimulating development of creativity, outside-the-box thinking and will help children to unravel their talents as they grow up and socialize. We are confident that our strategic partnership will open up new horizons for researching personality potential and setting up innovative approaches to its development.'
It is anticipated that cooperation will progress in the following two main areas: development of a human potential structure model and advancement of international cooperation in matters of forming, developing, and assessing human potential. Plans envision joint scientific research and dissemination of findings via joint events and outreach activities.
'Our cooperation aims at building human potential. The landscape for the building of human competencies, skills, and knowledge is evolving as the global world has changed and the structure of our economy undergoes dramatic change, too. There arises a demand for a universal individual, capable of setting and accomplishing tasks, all by oneself,' says Lilya Ovcharova.
