The International Engineering CASE-IN Championship is an international system of competitions for solving engineering cases among schoolchildren, students and young specialists of the Fuel and energy Complex and the Moscow Energy Complex. More than 60 leading universities of Russia and the CIS countries take part in the competition every year.

The competitions were held in four leagues: the School League, the Student League, the League of Young Professionals and the Special League. Future and current engineers developed case solutions for the nuclear industry, fuel and energy, mineral resource complexes, and related industries. The overall theme of the ninth season was "Sustainable development."

Director of the Reliable Change Foundation Artem Korolev noted: "This year, 134 teams reached the finals, which also participated in previous seasons of the championship — this is a real desire to win, a manifestation of willpower, endurance, which CASE-IN develops. The participants overcame a lot of difficulties before reaching the finals: artificial, indicated by the rules of the championship, epidemiological, personal. Regardless of the outcome of the decisive test, the contestants will return home as CASE-IN heroes who have acquired new knowledge, strengthened their competencies and are ready for new great achievements."

A total of 5,596 students entered the competition. This year, they got the opportunity to prove themselves in more industries. Among them are geological exploration, mining, metallurgy, oil and gas, petrochemistry, digital atom, electric power industry and the new direction of "project engineering". 517 students from Russia and the Republic of Belarus met in the final final.

305 employees of companies from the fuel and energy, mineral resources and nuclear industries took part in the qualifying stages of the League of Young Specialists of the CASE-IN championship.
