МОМ Junior 2024: The Path to Success and New Discoveries
HSE University has held award ceremonies abroad for the winners of the MOM Junior 2024 International Olympiad for 8th–9th Grade Students. This year, the olympiad took place on-site in five countries: Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Moldova (Transnistria), Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan.
HSE representatives hosted award ceremonies in Bishkek, Osh, Tashkent, and Ashgabat. Winners received diplomas and university-branded gifts, while all participants were awarded certificates and mini souvenir sets.
This year, nearly 1,500 school students participated in the MOM Junior Olympiad, testing their skills in six categories: English, Design, History, Literature, Mathematics, and Social Studies. Bishkek (Kyrgyzstan) was the most active venue, with 498 students taking part. Tiraspol (Transnistria) also showed great enthusiasm, with 456 submissions received. For the first time, MOM Junior was held in Turkmenistan, where HSE became the first Russian university to organise an on-site intellectual competition.
The most popular competition categories remain English and Mathematics, with over 400 foreign students participating. This year, the newly introduced Design category sparked particular enthusiasm. Participants worked on creative projects, including designing their own T-shirt concepts.
MOM Junior is a ‘junior’ version of the HSE International Olympiad (INTO HSE), the university’s largest project for prospective international students. The olympiad is held on-site and conducted in Russian. Its primary goals are to assist in professional orientation, identify participants' academic interests and talents, and introduce potential applicants to the university and the broader olympiad movement.
At MOM Junior 2024, 163 participants achieved the highest scores and received winners’ certificates.

‘For us, MOM Junior is a very important tool for working with prospective international students. The earlier we involve them with HSE, the greater the chances that they will choose our university in two to three years when they decide on their academic paths,’ says Ekaterina Belousova, project leader. ‘Statistics show that over 60% of 9th graders who participate in MOM Junior go on to register for the HSE International Olympiad (INTO HSE), which is an excellent indicator of how the olympiad can spark interest in a field, subject, or university. Our main goal is to show students that they have potential in various areas, and we create all the conditions to support and nurture these young talents.’
