The World Bank has opened a $100 million credit line to finance a development program for technoparks in high technology areas in Russia, according to Interfax news reports.
The program envisions the construction of seven technoparks — in Tomsk, Novosibirsk, the Moscow region and Kazan.
Information Technology and Communications Minister Leonid Reiman said at a press conference in Moscow Friday (June 16) that $20 million had already been received to create a technopark in St. Petersburg on the core of the Bonch-Bruevich Telecommunications University.
The technopark has drawn interest from Google who, from reports, is considering establishing a base there after 2008 when the technopark will house a new information technology park.
Researchers from Bonch-Bruevich University are participating at the Third International Russian Communication Association Conference this week (June 9-16) in St. Petersburg, Russia. The conference combines technology developments with communications influence on society.
The conference theme "Communication and (Re)Making Social Worlds" includes support by the North American Russian Communication Association—the western branch of the Russian Communication Association—and leading universities of the St. Petersburg area, including St. Petersburg State University, St. Petersburg-M.A. Bonch-Bruevich State University for Telecommunications, St. Petersburg State Polytechnical University, Nevsky Institute of Language and Culture, and the St. Petersburg Institute of Foreign Economic Relations, Economics and Law.
Other conference topics include mediated communication and advanced information technologies, mass and media communication, and communication and culture.
