The winners of the International Engineering Championship "CASE-IN" have been announced

The final of the International Engineering Championship "CASE-IN" has ended in Moscow.  According to the results of the competition, 40 contestants from 19 regions of the country became winners and prize-winners.

In total, more than 600 students and young specialists from Russia and the CIS countries qualified for the finals in eight areas: geological exploration, mining, metallurgy, oil and gas, petrochemistry, digital atom, electric power, and design engineering.

The international engineering Championship "CASE-IN" is one of the projects of the presidential platform "Russia – the land of opportunities". It is an international system of competitions for solving engineering cases among schoolchildren, students and young specialists of fuel and energy (fuel and energy complex) and mineral resources (MSC) complexes. The championship is being implemented within the framework of the federal project "Social Elevators for Everyone" of the national project "Education", and this year it was included in the plan of the main events of the Year of Science and Technology in Russia. The main topic was "Sustainable development".  

The competitions were held in four leagues: the School League, the Student League, the League of Young Professionals and the Special League. The participants solved large-scale tasks in the field of energy-intensive technologies, the introduction of artificial intelligence into industry and the urban environment, the modernization of production taking into account respect for nature, and the development of industry companies in the post-crisis period.

The main season finale ended on June 2 in Moscow. Denis Ashirov, Director of the Department of State Youth Policy and Educational Activities of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation, presented the award to the winners in the field of Metallurgy.

On the final day of the forum, OGteam from St. Petersburg Mining University became the winners in the Oil and Gas Business, and IFH and MISiS became the winners in the Metallurgy direction. The OGteam team received a special prize from PJSC YATEK, from PJSC Tatneft: Ukhta Engineers of Ukhta State Technical University, from IMC Montan: participants of the Matrix (PNRPU), Nazivin (SibFU), ADAMANTIUM (UrFU) teams.

During the final, special awards were presented to the Energy of Education for organizing the best CASE-IN qualifying stage in universities. We got it this year.  St. Petersburg State University of Architecture and Civil Engineering, Voronezh State University of Engineering Technologies, South Ural State University, National Research Nuclear University "MEPhI", Kazan State Power Engineering University, Almetyevsk State Petroleum Institute, National Research Tomsk Polytechnic University and St. Petersburg State University of Economics.

The main season of the CASE-IN championship has been completed, but the engineering competitions in 2021 will not stop there. The Autumn Cup will start very soon, the final of which will be held in September and will traditionally bring together talented and motivated future engineers.
