Les tribunaux estoniens pourraient assigner via Facebook et Twitter | Internet
Selon le projet de loi, une personne contactée par un tribunal par courrier électronique, Facebook ou Twitter, recevra une note contenant un lien qui la conduira à son dossier au tribunal. - Photo: Reuters Le ministère estonien de la Justice a demandé au Parlement d'adopter des amendements qui permettront aux tribunaux d'utiliser Facebook et Twitter pour assigner les gens à comparaître en justice, a-t-on appris lundi auprès du ministère. «Une des principales raisons de la lenteur des procédures judiciaires en Estonie est la livraison très lente de documents aux personnes concernées», a indiqué à l'AFP Priit Talv, le porte-parole du ministère de la Justice. «Environ un tiers de tous les cas au civil restent constamment en phase de livraison des documents. Avec les nouvelles mesures, que nous comptons lancer en janvier 2013, nous voulons étendre les moyens électroniques à la disposition des tribunaux, pour livrer ces documents», a-t-il ajouté.Alar Kolk who is in charge of innovation and international relations in the Tallinn Technical University (TTU) says that TTU puts high hopes on its US representative office that will be opened in Silicon Valley on Thursday, writes Äripäev. “We have already contracts with Californian universities and conduct joint research projects. Now we wish to add an additional layer to this, namely innovation and cooperation with enterprises,” said Kolk. The office staff will at first consist of three university professors, but the future plan is to have about 100 people working for TTU in the US. He added that the US office will focus on developing opportunities in the field of information and telecommunications technology. “In Estonia we are already cooperating with Ericsson, ABB, Microsoft and TeliaSonera.

"e-Estonia" is the term commonly used to describe Estonia's emergence as one of the most advanced e-societies in the world – an incredible success story that grew out of the partnership between a forward-thinking government, a pro-active ICT sector, and a switched-on, tech-savvy population. Thanks to this success, Estonians and the Estonian state enjoy a wide range of e-solutions that those living elsewhere can only dream about. In Estonia you can access wi-fi internet even in forests For citizens of Estonia, e-services have become routine: e-elections, e-taxes, e-police, e-healthcare, e-banking, and e-school. The "e" prefix for services has almost become trite in the sense that it has become the norm. Most Estonians would not even consider doing things the old-fashioned way, like physically visiting an office when the process could easily be completed online.e-School | e-Estonia
One of the most widely used and innovative web applications in Estonia is e-School. It provides an easy way for education stakeholders to collaborate and organize teaching/learning information. The system has a range of different functions for its various users:
Among the former communist countries set to join the European Union on 1 May, Estonia is the smallest, but the most technologically advanced. Estonia's children become computer-literate very early The former Soviet republic, where parliament has declared internet access a basic human right, is ahead of EU countries like France and Italy when it comes to the use of mobile phones and internet connections. Thirteen years ago, when Estonia regained its independence from the Soviet Union, only half of the country's 1.4 million people even had a telephone line. Rein Raamat, an academic in his 60s, comes every two months to have his blood pressure checked by his doctor at the university clinic in Tartu, Estonia's second biggest city. A hand-held electronic device that looks like a palmtop computer, it monitors his blood pressure, weight and stress level every day, sends the readings to a central data base and alerts both patient and doctor to any sudden changes.

A Freedom House study examined the state of the Internet in 37 countries. The report found that while Estonia was atop the list, Iran came out on the bottom, as its Internet is highly restricted. In a new 410-page report published earlier this week, Freedom House, an American NGO, Estonia has been named the country with the highest level of Internet freedom. The United States placed second, and Germany came in third.

Pagan traditions are embedded in the culture of Estonia When Estonians were recently asked whether religion played an important part in their life, only 20% said yes. It suggests the Baltic country is, statistically, the least religious country in the world. When I went to the city's large Lutheran Dome Church one Sunday almost all of the 70 congregants turned out to have travelled from the Netherlands. Nationalist symbols are more important than churches to some Instead, in history lessons, young Estonians learn about the waves of invasion led by the Germans and Danes who brought Christianity to the country.

PLUNGING unemployment, rocketing growth, soaring exports and a budget surplus: that is the story of Estonia as it bounces back from a precipitous economic collapse. This burst of good news shows not only the virtues of flexibility and austerity (a sensitive subject, as other euro countries taste the same medicine); it also gives heart to Latvia and Lithuania. Estonia’s GDP growth rate in the first quarter of the year was 8.5%, the highest in the European Union.

A small and heavily forested country, Estonia is the most northerly of the three former Soviet Baltic republics. Not much more than a decade after it regained its independence following the collapse of the USSR, the republic was welcomed as an EU member in May 2004. The move came just weeks after it joined Nato. Estonia was part of the Russian empire until 1918 when it proclaimed its independence. Russia recognised it as an independent state under the 1920 Treaty of Tartu. During the two decades that followed it tried to assert its identity as a nation squeezed between the rise of Nazism in Germany and the dominion of Stalin in the USSR.Estonia and Russia: A cyber-riot | The Economist
FOR a small, high-tech country such as Estonia, the internet is vital. But for the past two weeks Estonia's state websites (and some private ones) have been hit by “denial of service” attacks, in which a target site is bombarded with so many bogus requests for information that it crashes. The internet warfare broke out on April 27th, amid a furious row between Estonia and Russia over the removal of a Soviet war monument from the centre of the capital, Tallinn, to a military cemetery (pictured below). The move sparked rioting and looting by several thousand protesters from Estonia's large population of ethnic Russians, who tend to see the statue as a cherished memorial to wartime sacrifice. Estonians mostly see it rather as a symbol of a hated foreign occupation.Australia Group, BA, BIS, CBSS, CE, EAPC, EBRD, ECB, EIB, EMU, ESA (cooperating state), EU, FAO, IAEA, IBRD, ICAO, ICC, ICRM, IDA, IFC, IFRCS, IHO, ILO, IMF, IMO, Interpol, IOC, IOM, IPU, ISO, ITSO, ITU, ITUC, MIGA, NATO, NIB, NSG, OAS (observer), OECD, OIF (observer), OPCW, OSCE, PCA, Schengen Convention, UN, UNCTAD, UNESCO, UNHCR, UNTSO, UPU, WCO, WHO, WIPO, WMO, WTO
