Yandex keeps arranging public gnostic lectures for Novosibirsk students. Early in summer they could meet Prof. Alexey Savvateev, working for New Economic School and the Yandex School of Data Analysis. The audience asked numerous questions and actively discussed their own experience of making game-theory Internet models. The Yandex School of Data Analysis has been working at NSU for two years. The aim of the School is to train specialists in data analysis and information retrieval for further employment at Yandex or any other IT companies.
