• Arizona University Expert: Pros and Cons of English as a Global Language

  In our global world, English is being increasingly regarded as an inevitable necessity, the common global language that everyone has to learn.

• How Can Russian Post Contribute to Smart City Development

  What can serve as a technological basis for the smart city concept? Big Data. But data is something you have to gather, meaning you have to set sensors, place cameras, maintain this equipment and analyze the information you get. Surely, all of that can be built from scratch with the help of some commercial company. The alternative solution is to use the existing resources of a governmental organization, namely the Russian Post. Maria Pavlovskaya, student at the Department of State Information Systems Management and staff member of FSUE Russian Post’s Enterprise Architecture Department, used it as the topic of her Master’s thesis that won the best article prize at the Smart Cities Conference in Bucharest.
