One of the priorities of Yandex Cloud is the creation of digital solutions for science and education. Our cloud platform has all the necessary tools and technologies needed to meet the needs of both leading universities and EdTech startups.
Here we have listed all our current projects for education and research.
We launched a program to offer access to cloud resources to build digital educational environments.
We train IT experts, run events, and create courses for the development of digital skills.
We simplify access to high-end computing resources and related tools.
We help create a comfortable environment for knowledge-sharing. By leveraging cloud technology, universities and educational institutions can find an individual approach to every student, ensure continuity of access to their applications, and solve other digital education tasks. Here are a few stories about educational institutions that have already adopted Yandex Cloud:
HSE adopted Yandex Cloud services to host a web service for the state final certification of students under the 4th academic module.
The university plans to use Yandex Cloud as a platform for the development and implementation of AI-based recommendation and prediction systems.
The Yandex Cloud platform enabled instant scalability of the infrastructure (both up and down) to match current workloads and ensure security for large amounts of sensitive user data.
Skyeng’s test environment had been deployed on AWS VMs, but the developers weren’t happy with the long ping (about 50 ms from Moscow and even longer from other cities) or the fairly high costs. By moving the test environment to Yandex Cloud, they cut their ping in half and removed restrictions on disk operations, reducing the maintenance cost 1.5X.
By moving to Yandex Cloud, E-queo gave its customers more stable service, guaranteed data security, and overall platform predictability. E-queo developers can now more actively test their product hypotheses and improve their time-to-market.
We offer our technologies to support science projects and make knowledge more freely available. Our platform and cloud solutions are suitable for training students and post-graduates, running experiments, testing hypotheses, and preparing scientific articles and research papers. Get familiar with the projects already implemented on Yandex Cloud:
The developers of the Angelina Braille Reader received a grant for advanced cloud technologies, as well as advice on how to optimally spend these resources and deploy their solution in Yandex Cloud. The service is now public, improving the quality of life for a huge number of people.
The Biology Department of Moscow State University, together with a consortium of the Michurin Federal Scientific Center, Tambov State University, and the VIM Federal Scientific Agroengineering Center, created a full-fledged crop monitoring and forecast system in Yandex Cloud.
Together with the Yandex Go team, we quickly launched a course covering product analytics and how to effictively train students using Yandex Cloud services: Yandex Managed Service for PostgreSQL, Yandex DataSphere ML development tool, and Yandex DataLens data visualization system.
To test a set of neural networks, the team chose Yandex Compute Cloud, a service running on the Yandex Cloud platform.
