On Runet
Day at the RUSSIA EXPO, the stand of the Russian Internet Encyclopedia Ruwiki
was opened between Pavilions No. 75 and B "Prirodograd". The new
space is equipped with interactive screens, dynamic lighting and 3D figures.
Every guest can take part in a quiz and win prizes from the new Internet
encyclopedia.
"We
are very pleased to present a new space at the RUSSIA EXPO - this is the space
of Ruwiki, the new Internet encyclopedia. The interactive cube with mirrored
surfaces symbolizes the infinity of knowledge and the boundlessness of
information. Any guest can take a quiz: we have prepared a block of questions
for both adults and children. And get prizes from the new Internet
encyclopedia," said Elena Litovchenko, deputy general director of Ruwiki.
According
to her, the new Internet encyclopedia has been working since June 2023.
Although it is based on the ideas of Wikipedia, it will develop differently
both organizationally and technologically.
"Organizationally, we have an editorial board - we cooperate with external experts, such as the Russian Academy of Sciences, which helps to make the materials as reliable and high-quality as possible. Just last week Ruwiki was updated to version 2.0: any user can choose a topic, customize the font, screen size, listen to articles in audio format," said Elena Litovchenko.
The speaker also shared important news for all schoolchildren: the portal dedicated to the MSE and USE exams has been launched. Now the portal contains high-quality materials, tested by the Russian Academy of Sciences, which will help to prepare for the exams and pass them successfully.
A forum on improving labour productivity will take place on 19 May at the National Centre RUSSIA in Krasnoyarsk.
At the 10th Russian-Chinese EXPO in Harbin, the National Centre RUSSIA presented a model of its new building, which is scheduled to open in November 2029.
A working meeting was held between the Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Russia to the People's Republic of China, Igor Morgulov, and Director General of the National Centre RUSSIA, Natalia Virtuozova.
