New Energy Programme

A large proportion of the energy system of Siberia is comprised of coal generated electricity. To tackle this reliance on coal ad to assist with global decarbonisation and energy transition efforts, En+ Group implemented the New Energy Programme, a major hydropower modernization programme. New Energy is designed to more effectively channel water resources and boost hydropower plant (HPP) efficiency.

The digital platform for the implementation of illiquid assets and waste disposal "Trash for cash"

Every year, more than 3.5 million organizations and 16 million people make more than 60 million transactions for the sale and disposal of waste and illiquids. Waste owners spend several days searching for a contractor, as a result of which a third of them pay for recycling, although they could receive income for it. Processors spend large budgets on advertising, but receive up to 90% of non-targeted requests. Our online platform uses computer vision to determine the type, volume and quality of waste, neural networks to select disposal options based on legislation, and instant auctions to provide the best deals.

Aist – pregnancy care assistant

The lack of personalized support and expert content for expectant parents often heightens their stress and anxiety, leaving them overwhelmed and uncertain about their baby's health and development. This gap in resources forces them to seek credible advice and emotional support, making their journey to parenthood more challenging. Our solution addresses this by offering a service that combines exclusive content from leading doctors, emotional support through a digital assistant, and shared access for partners, ensuring confidence, comfort, and safety throughout every stage of pregnancy.

A zebrafish-based platform for comprehensive analysis of the external environment impact on the cardiovascular and muscular systems

According to the World Health Organization, 80% of diseases can be attributed to poor water quality. Fish and aquatic organisms are among the first to be affected by pollutants. Heavy metals, organic pollutants, agricultural chemicals can significantly disrupt the development of basic systems, reduce immune function, and affect overall population size and biodiversity. Thus, the fish welfare serves as a biological indicator of water pollution and the overall environmental health. As the role of aquaculture and fisheries in providing global food security is becoming increasingly clear, timely toxicity monitoring is mandatory for reducing fish loss and preventing consumer intoxication. Existing biotest methods is quite robust, but time-consuming, elaborate, and as a rule invasive, or even lethal techniques required expensive equipment, significant computing power, rely on the only adult fish analysis and etc. The issue Practice addressed is the lack of non-invasive, rapid, accurate, reliable, and cost-effective instruments for the comprehensive analysis of environmental pollutants impact on a variety of fish species at early developmental stages. To address this issue, we have developed a unique platform that combines equipment, software, and a methodology to assess the cardiovascular and muscular systems of fish at different developmental stages in a single format. The proposed approach unsure studies in a non-invasive, in vivo, low-stressed, label-free, rapid, and typically automated manner, with high performance and spatial resolution and clarity and ease of data interpretation. It is an easy, cost-effective and informative technique based on the digital analysis of microscopic video frames of optical transparency tissues of most fish species at early developmental stages. We employed optical diagnostic techniques, specifically photoplethysmography, videocapillaroscopy, and Mueller-matrix imaging, for qualitative and quantitative assessments of body abnormalities. The designed approach provides visualization and quantification of body parameters, such as heart rate, blood flow velocity, vascular and muscular maps, etc., using a commonly available and cost-effective bright-field microscope, high-speed polarizing camera, and bespoke image processing software. The platform is designed to monitor harm to health caused by current pollution or climate change to fish populations, as well as to assess the potential muscle and cardiovascular toxicity of new substances or various stressors impact. Toxicity studies can be carried out on model organisms, such as zebrafish (Danio rerio), which have been approved as one of the models for human diseases. Both commercial and wild-caught fish species can be used for ongoing climate and environmental monitoring. Quantitative criteria for the allow for screening and objectively determining the severity of disorders in the cardiovascular and musculoskeletal systems caused by toxicants.

Railway Worker Dynasties

The “Railway Worker Dynasties” project came about as a response to the lack of a coordinated system for keeping records on and supporting railroad dynasties, as well as to the declining importance of the concept of “labour dynasties” and the image of rail transport professions in modern conditions.

Knowledge.Express open learning project

Today, we rely on knowledge being universally available. Openness is a key principle of the corporate culture of the Russian Railways Holding. We don’t stop learning when we finish school or graduate from university – Lifelong learning is a popular concept of knowledge acquisition in modern society. The Corporate University of Russian Railways develops and promotes open learning as a new element of the business education system in the railway industry. Since 2018, all Russian Railways Holding employees have been able to use the open online courses and the university’s electronic library, completely free of charge.
