According to the results of the victory in the qualifying stage of the International Engineering Championship "CASE-IN", representatives of the Petrozavodsk State University team were invited to be awarded at Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University.

The CASE-IN International Engineering Championship is an international competition system for solving engineering cases for schoolchildren, students and young specialists in the fuel and energy and mineral resource complexes. This time, the topic of the case was "Digital transformation of the electric grid at the operational and technological management level for sustainable development."

At the award ceremony, the PetrSU team was represented by Sergey Pimenov, a 4th-year student of the Department of Enterprise Energy Supply and Energy Conservation at the Institute of Physics and Technology and team captain, and Sergey Nosov, a 3rd-year student of the Department of Enterprise Energy Supply and Energy Conservation at the Institute of Physics and Technology.

«It was very exciting to attend the award ceremony, as we were the only representatives of outside universities. We are glad that we were able to give our best and show such a good result.»,- Sergey Pimenov, the captain of the team, shared his impressions.

«It is worth noting that PetrSU is participating in the championship for the third time: in 2016, at the qualifying stage at the Mining University, two participants from PetrSU as part of the Military Academy of Communications team took 8th place out of 11 teams, and last year the PetrSU team took 6th place out of 13 teams at the Polytechnic stage. Thus, this year's victory is a historic event.», − Denis Petrushin, lecturer at the Department of Energy Supply of Enterprises and Energy Conservation at PetrSU, mentor of the PetrSU team, commented on the results of the championship.
