Ural students became prize-winners of the international CASE-IN championship

Solving global problems and innovative technologies: Ural students became winners of the international engineering CASE-IN championship.

The task is to develop a technique for ventilation of a deep quarry, the time is two weeks. The Vakhta team has been participating in the Student League of the CASE-IN Championship for the second year. The guys presented their project at the final of the competition in Moscow. As a result, the prize-winning place.

Anatoly Kulminsky, silver medalist of the international engineering CASE-IN championship in the field of Mining: "The interest is primarily to make it interesting, because first of all we do it all for ourselves, then we are determined to reach the end, despite all the difficulties, and this is teamwork, because no one takes part one by one".

Among the participants of the championship are schoolchildren, students and young professionals – there are different leagues for everyone. The competition is part of the presidential platform "Russia is a land of opportunity." The main task is to increase the interest of young people in engineering and technical specialties.

Alexey Komissarov, CEO of ANO "Russia – the land of opportunities": "This is a great opportunity to share best practices, solve real problems from the real sector of the economy, and our partners provide us with these tasks. This is an opportunity to gain new friends, new mentors and new knowledge.".

Participation in the championship is a real ticket to the future: winners receive additional points upon admission to graduate and master's degrees and, most importantly, a chance to find their dream job. The innovative ideas of the participants also do not remain idle – solutions are refined and implemented in real production.

Petr Kostyuk, organizer of the regional stage of the international engineering CASE-IN championship at UGSU: "For example, in 2017, our team developed one of the ways to ventilate the quarry, and now it is already being applied. Some companies remove additional entrance tests for the guys, they take them without a probation period".

Many major universities of the Sverdlovsk region support the championship. So, Ural Mining has been participating since 2013. During this time, his students became champions and prize-winners in mining and geological exploration four times. This year's competition is live to match current trends. The new format, the participants say, has added a twist. Despite all the difficulties, the number of teams has not decreased.
