Increase the efficiency of the field or design an electric grid in the Arctic

Such assignments are given to students by representatives of existing companies within the framework of the international engineering CASE-IN championship.

The International Engineering CASE-IN Championship is one of the projects of the presidential platform "Russia is a country of opportunities. This is a great chance for students, companies, and experts to create joint projects in the fields of petrochemistry, electric power, oil and gas, mining, exploration, and metallurgy. 

The business sets specific tasks, for example, how to enter new markets, and the participants of the competition prepare proposals within a few days. The most interesting ones are fully or partially implemented, even after a while, and the winners receive prizes. 

ALEXEY KOMISSAROV,Director General of ANO "Russia - the land of opportunities": 

The student league has several thousand participants, more than a hundred teams from forty regions of Russia, as well as from Belarus and Kazakhstan. More than 150 partner companies. The experts are representatives of industry companies, universities, government authorities, and even champions of previous years who are now successful in their profession. For example, Nikita Lipnitsky won the competition in 2013 as a member of the Mining University team.

NIKITA LIPNITSKY,CASE-IN champion in 2013, expert, Chief Project Engineer of SPb-Giproshakht LLC: 

The initial selection takes place at the university level. In St. Petersburg, the Mining University, LETI, Polytechnic and Economics — formerly FINEK - support the championship. 

According to the teachers, despite the fact that assignments are performed in their free time and are basically voluntary, there is no shortage of applicants. After all, in fact, CASE-IN provides an opportunity to put knowledge into practice. 

NATALIA TRIFONOVA,Acting Director of Inrotech LETI, expert of the international engineering championship CASE-IN:

Due to the coronavirus, the championship is currently being held mainly in a remote format. This made it possible, among other things, to hold competitions all year round, expand the geography and attract more mentors. 

On December 11, the winners of the Autumn Cup of the championship will be determined. To participate in the next season of the Russia — Land of Opportunity platform project, you must submit an application on the website: registration for the new CASE-IN season will open in January. In addition to students, there are categories of "schoolchildren" and "young professionals".
