The Energy of Youth is an All- Russian contest for young scientists managed by The Global Energy Non-Profit Partnership. 10.00-11.30 Meeting of Managers of Unified Information and Settlement Centers Green Hall To facilitate calculating and reviewing utility charges, provide information follow-up on municipal charges, facilitate accounting and collection of charges for using residential and non-residential space, and other utility charges and their sharing and make those most convenient for country citizens, Unified Information and Settlement Centers have been organized in the RF regions (UI&SC). Consolidating huge volumes of information on charges, payments and debts requires building a high-quality unified database that would provide a transparent scheme of charging for housing/municipal services. UI&SC systems should present a convenient and socially focused system of payments for residents and reduce time and money spent on data processing and informing charge payers.

Meanwhile it has not gained its required pace, so far. It is necessary to develop our own competence & manufacturing centers, and also to promote localization of international solutions. What are equipment needs of power-engineering companies? What are real capabilities of local machine builders? What can the state do to stimulate investments in this sector? What are the prerequisites for localization of best international technologies?

While solving that task the chief engineer is limited by lack of capital investment on the one hand, and need to reduce specific operational cost of grid maintenance, on the other hand. While understanding the inevitable need of better savings and capital investments reduction, one still has to think ahead. The question arises, what will be the future of electric grids? What will be required to operate them? Will the technologies progress to a qualitatively new level? Efficient equipment is more expensive but comes much cheaper operation-wise. And if one thinks about the grids of tomorrow, if one thinks about the consumer of tomorrow, the issue of economy should be dealt with reasonably. Oftentimes cheaper doesn’t mean better for the future. What engineering and management solutions are used across the industry today to resolve such issues? What useful lessons were learned from getting prepared for the autumn-winter season? Are any good practices available that should be adopted throughout the industry? Moderator: Pavel Golubev, General Director of CJSC "Technical inspection UES" Participants: Alexander Pilyugin, First Deputy General Director, Chief Engineer, “MRSK Center” PJSC Sergei Akhtyamov, Technical Director of "HST" Ramil Ishmaev, Deputy General Director, Technical Director, “BESK” OJSC Rashat Galimzyanov,

The regional diversity of food and agricultural products in Russia attracts genuine interest from foreign consumers, and this is further increased when Russian regions are effectively positioned as distinctive. Recent changes in the country's system of agricultural subsidies give regions more autonomy in developing the sector, including for exports. The higher the autonomy, the greater the responsibility. Is the development of agricultural exports one of the priority areas for regional development? How do regions monetize their distinctiveness on foreign markets? What international experience can be used to build effective regional value propositions for exports? By invitation only 09:00–10:30 New Regional Policy: Improving Administration An Experimental Approach to Regional Development Conference hall 3.2 The formulation of new approaches to the state management of regional development (including the development of individual sectors) frequently requires testing in the form of pilot schemes. Such an approach helps to eliminate project shortcomings, create various models which take regional specifics into account, and refine project parameters before the mass implementation stage. An experimental phase in implementing innovations in regional development is already used by a number of other countries (France, China, etc.), helping them to adopt a more considered approach to rolling out projects on a nationwide scale.

  • The Russian Arctic
    Master’s Degree in Comparative International Relations Final Thesis The Russian Arctic Supervisor Ch. Prof. Stefano Soriani Assistant supervisor Ch. Prof. Antonio Trampus Graduand Alina Novikova 846190 Academic Year 2017/2018 1 INTRODUCTION This thesis focuses on the essence of the Russian Arctic, on the inhabitants of this area, miscellaneous ethnicities, on the surrounded environment which is characterized by a harsh climate, the management of mineral resources, regional structure, economic activity, focusing on the topic of the Global Warming and the impacts of the Corona Virus on the region. In this thesis I will argue about the Arctic, and its question of the depletion of natural resources, I would like to demonstrate that an unanimous measures should be taken to resolve the challenges of the second part of the XXI century in this area. The international community should act in cooperation resolving not only the economic, humanitarian or scientific issues but they mostly should decide its jurisdictional status, dealing with clashes that may lead states towards the world war. The thesis is divided into two chapters. The first chapter consists of an introduction that gives the comprehensive picture of the Russian Arctic, that is based on the analysis 2 of its geography, administrative structure, infrastructure, ports, investments, as well as the economic activity in the Arctic, and the natural potential which are the precious natural resources. The second chapter deals with the Russian vision of the Arctic: the way the region is governed and militarized, and how this area could become an arena of the future clashes. I will analyze the strategy of the State Program up to 2035 and the fundamental development of the Core Development Zones in the Arctic, examining the risks they currently face, the attitude of the Russian Government towards Non-Governmental Organizations, the current survey of the Climate Change, how it is evaluated by the Russian experts, as well as the impact that the ongoing Covid19 Pandemic has had on the Economy of the Arctic region.

  • The Covid Biopolitics in Russia: Putin's Sovereignty Versus
    31 47 The Covid Biopolitics in Russia: Putin’s Sovereignty versus Regional Governmentality ANDREY MAKARYCHEV University of Tartu, Estonia E-mail: [email protected] MARIA GOES Arctic University of Norway, Tromsø, Norway E-mail: [email protected] ANNA KUZNETSOVA University of Tartu, Estonia E-mail: [email protected] ORCID http://orcid.org/0000-0002-8420-2333 Abstract: In this article, we discuss the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic as a biopolitical challenge that – along the lines of the contemporary academic debate on biopower – may be approached through the concepts of sovereignty and governmentality. Within this general framework, the authors look at the challenges Russia faces due to the corona crisis from the viewpoint of domestic transformations within the ruling regime, mainly focusing on centre-periphery relations as a core element of the power structure in Russia that demands a stronger emphasis on govern- mentality. We outline several forms of regions’ distancing from the federal centre: digital empowerment, the resistance of the North, and the demand for “people’s governors”. Our main conclusion is that the relative administrative autonomy obtained by the regions reflects the ongoing process of decentralization of the Russian political system, which will affect the structural characte- ristics of Russian federalism in the future. Keywords: COVID-19, centre-region relations, governmentality, sovereignty, Russia. DOI: <https://doi.org/10.32422/mv-cjir.1729>. This article proposes an interpretation of the Covid-19 crisis as a biopolitical challenge that – along the lines of the contemporary academic debate on biopower – may be discussed through the double prism of sovereignty and governmentality.
