With the support of SIBUR, the participants of the Championship will address current challenges.

With the support of SIBUR, the ixth season of the international engineering championship "CASE-IN", one of the projects of the presidential platform "Russia – the land of Opportunities", has started. The new season will be dedicated to the theme of sustainable development.

The championship competitions are held from February to May in the school and student leagues. More than 10,000 schoolchildren, students and young professionals will get involved in solving real production problems and offer useful ideas for the sustainable development of the leading sectors of the Russian economy.

In the school league, high school students will receive a case study on the sustainable development of the Amur Region: young researchers will be offered to assess the impact of the SIBUR Amur Gas Chemical Complex under construction on the social development, economy and ecology of the region. The case will be solved in two stages: the qualifying competitions will identify the 16 best teams that will go to the finals.

"The opportunity to teach students how to work in a team, analyze large amounts of data and make decisions through case analysis increases their chances of choosing an interesting profession upon admission and building a successful career in the future. In addition to developing the necessary competencies, the search for new ideas in the field of sustainable development will allow students to get involved in solving urgent problems across the country.", – said the Head of SIBUR's Employer Brand Development, Recruitment and HR Communications practice Valentina Chernykh.

The student teams will have to solve a three-step case: at each next stage, the case assignments will become more complicated. This will give even junior students the opportunity to try their hand at the championship, and from 10 to 20 teams will be able to qualify for the finals of each of the student league's branch areas. Full-time or remote qualifying stages will be held at 70 universities, and at the end of May, the best teams will meet in the finals in Moscow. SIBUR offered future petrochemical specialists the task of assessing the impact of the company's product portfolio on sustainable development indicators.

SIBUR employees will traditionally take part in the league of young professionals. Last year, the team of SIBUR's Dzerzhinsk enterprise won the final of the competition among young professionals from Russia's leading companies.
