The qualifying stage of the CASE-IN championship was held at the National Research Nuclear University MEPhI

On March 30, the qualifying stage of the Student League of the International Engineering Championship "CASE-IN" in the field of "Digital Atom" ended at the National Research Nuclear University MEPhI.

Rosatom State Corporation, one of the world's technological leaders, whose field of activity includes the digitalization of the nuclear industry, acted as a partner in this direction. As a university platform, MEPhI provides registration and methodological support for participants, helps to find mentors, organizes pre-defense and project protection, and expert consultations.

The mythologists represented several teams from INAFIT, IICS, INTEL, IFTAB, and IFTIS. Applications for participation in the competition were also received from the branches of the National Research Nuclear University MEPhI: SarFTI (Sarov), IATE (Obninsk), SFTI (Snezhinsk), DITI (Dimitrovgrad), TI (Lesnoy), OTI (Ozersk), STI (Seversk), VITI (Volgodonsk), BITI (Balakovo).

"The cases are designed in such a way that they are quite difficult to implement. These are mainly global issues, such as, for example, this year, the remote adaptation of new employees. The cases are mostly designed in such a way as to identify a creative approach to solving the problem. The jury also evaluates how the participants distributed the roles within the team, how they designed the presentations and what intermediate result they came up with as part of solving the case.", — said Vladislav Yefremov, curator, Head of the Department of Student Employment and Interaction with Employers at the National Research Nuclear University MEPhI.

Ilya Rodko, Head of the Department of Practice and Employment of Students at the National Research Nuclear University MEPhI, added that the technical side is also important.: "Separate points in the jury evaluation system are technical training and the availability of a ready—made working prototype of the system. Teams that have a working prototype have an added advantage."

The Digital Atom course of the case championship has been held since 2019 for students of digital specialties, its tasks are closely related to the digital transformation of the industry.

The winners of the championship finals will receive valuable prizes, the opportunity to participate in All-Russian industry summer forums, advantages in admission to master's and postgraduate studies at twenty partner universities of the championship, and will also be able to complete internships at leading companies in the industry.

The organizers of the championship are the Reliable Change Foundation, the Youth Forum of Mining Leaders Non-profit Partnership and AstraLogica LLC. The CASE-IN championship is particularly supported by ANO Russia – the Land of Opportunities.

In total, eight areas are being implemented within the framework of the championship: "Mining", "Geological exploration", "Electric power industry", "Metallurgy", "Oil and gas business", "Petrochemistry", "Digital Atom", "Project Engineering".
