The participants of the CASE-IN championship perform in a remote format

As part of the International Engineering CASE-IN Championship, which is part of the presidential platform "Russia – the Land of Opportunities," students from NUST MISIS and NRU MEPhI are modernizing fuel and energy and mineral resource complexes. Students MGRI is voicing ideas for the development of mining and geological exploration, students of the Gubkin University of Oil and Gas presented best practices for the modernization of the oil and gas industry. 

The students worked out their ideas in 10 days. Students Gubkin University of Oil and Gas is engaged in solving the problem of the production and transportation of liquefied natural gas and the development of the production of synthetic liquid and solid products from natural gas. Mining engineers from NUST MISIS will have to reduce the pollution of the atmospheric environment of the Yubileyny quarry, located in the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia).

The future engineers of the National Research Nuclear University MEPhI have developed solutions for managing the technical repair and maintenance of CNC machines. And the future metallurgists of NUST MISIS have upgraded the technology for producing vanadium, which is necessary for the production of fine steel and cast iron.

According to the founder of the championship Artem Korolev, the competitions have been transferred to a remote format due to anti-epidemic measures in Russia. Students will present their solutions online. Experts will also evaluate the students' ideas online and select the best teams.

"We decided to try to conduct it in a remote format. It's already the second week, and all the qualifying stages are held remotely.  I think this is a successful experience. Before that, we tried the remote format as part of the school's CASE-IN league, as part of last year's cup. We tried protection using webinar platforms. And we decided to try it as part of the main season.", - said Artem Korolev.

The cases for students were developed by leading Russian companies: ALROSA, Rosatom, NOVATEK, etc. The best teams will defend the honor of their universities at the final of the CASE-IN championship in Moscow.

The championship is held in 57 universities in Russia and the CIS countries. 

The International Engineering CASE-IN Championship is an international competition system for solving engineering cases among students, schoolchildren and young professionals. The purpose of the championship is to popularize engineering and technical education and attract the most promising young specialists to the fuel and energy and mineral resource complexes.
