Rosatom presented its own case at the International Engineering Championship "CASE-IN"

On February 26, the IX International Engineering Championship "CASE-IN" started in Moscow. Rosatom State Corporation traditionally supports the Student League of the Digital Atom Championship.

This year, Rosatom offered the participants a case study "Remote adaptation in a new company", which is closely related to the activities of the State Corporation in the field of human capital development.: Young IT specialists will have to create a prototype of a digital system for remote immersion of new employees in the corporate environment.

"For us, the CASE-IN championship is a great opportunity to introduce young developers to Rosatom's digital agenda and talk about our ambitious goals, including not only the development of nuclear energy in Russia and the world, but also the creation of a domestic quantum computer, digitalization of the Northern Sea Route, and launching our own digital products. The case proposed by us is intended to complement the friendly interface addressed to new Rosatom employees. And we are very interested in giving the authors of the best project the opportunity to put it into practice.", – emphasized the Director of Digitalization of the Rosatom State Corporation Ekaterina Solntseva at the press conference on the occasion of the opening of the championship.

Experts from the All-Russian Scientific Research Institute of Automation named after N.L. Dukhov, the Private Institution for the Digitalization of the nuclear industry "Tsifrum" and JSC "Grinatom" took part in the development of the "case". Experts from the organizations will also work with the participants of the competition at the regional stages.

Ekaterina Solntseva explained that the authors of the projects that will solve the Rosatom case are designed to fulfill several important conditions that determine a high result.:

"The first is engagement. It is important to put yourself in the shoes of a young Rosatom employee and create a prototype of a "digital guide" – an interactive assistant that will allow you to get involved in the work as quickly and comfortably as possible. The second is to take into account the user experience that has been formed among the current younger generation. We don't need another "heavy" corporate system. We need a friendly interface for talented people who come to work at Rosatom. The third is the maximum flexibility of the solution. And – the ability to scale it. After all, Rosatom is a state corporation that includes 400 enterprises employing a total of more than 250,000 people."

The regional qualifying stages of the "CASE-IN" in the Digital Atom direction will start on March 4. After that, the semifinals will be held, and the best teams will meet on May 27-28, 2021 in the final, which will be held in Moscow.

For reference. The International Engineering CASE-IN Championship is an international competition system for solving engineering cases among schoolchildren, students and young specialists in the fuel and energy and mineral resource industries. The championship is being implemented in accordance with the action plan aimed at popularizing the working and engineering professions, and approved in 2015. The organizers of the Championship are the Reliable Change Foundation, the Non-profit Partnership Youth Forum of Mining Leaders, ANO Russia – Land of Opportunities and AstraLogica LLC.

The competitions of the Student League of the CASE-IN championship will be held with the participation of students from Russia, Belarus and Kazakhstan in eight areas: "Geological exploration", "Mining", "Metallurgy", "Oil and gas business", "Petrochemistry", "Digital Atom", "Electric power industry" and "Project Engineering". In March and April, participants will have face-to-face or remote qualifying stages at 70 universities and semi-finals in each federal district. At the end of May, the best teams will meet in the finals in Moscow. Student teams will have to solve a three-step case in each area: at each subsequent stage, the case assignments will become more complicated. From 10 to 20 teams from each direction will be able to qualify for the finals.
