The winner of the "CASE-IN" championship from Vladivostok spoke at a TASS press conference

Champion of the Student League in the field of Geological Exploration, student of the Polytechnic Institute of the Far Eastern Federal University (FEFU) Nikita Anisimov took part in the TASS press conference dedicated to the results of the IX season of the International Engineering Championship "CASE-IN". The student talked about what the competition gives the participants and shared his impressions.

Nikita Anisimov's Kilo-Trilobite team won the final of the CASE-IN in the field of Geological Exploration, presenting a draft assessment of work at the site with uranium-thorium-niobium-rare earth mineralization. The students presented the cost structure required for these works, built a logistics route for the delivery of personnel, fuel and equipment, and also presented a geographical and economic description of the area.

Following the results of the championship, students had the opportunity to complete an internship at Alrosa and enroll in budget master's degree programs at FEFU.

"Thanks to our participation in the CASE-IN, we were able to improve both our hard skills and soft skills. Our team believes that solving cases allows you to master a variety of professional skills in a complex, which is very useful for students, especially first-year students. Unfortunately, we won't be able to complete the internship this year, as we are preparing to defend our final qualifying work, but everyone expressed a desire to visit Alrosa. Perhaps, if further training allows, we will do an internship.", ― Nikita Anisimov said at a press conference.

More than 6,000 future and young professionals took part in the IX season of the CASE-IN championship. The championship competitions were held in four leagues: the School League, the Student League, the League of Young Professionals and the Special League. The contestants developed case solutions for the nuclear industry, fuel and energy, mineral resource complexes, and related industries. The general theme of this year's season was "Sustainable development".

International Engineering CASE-IN Championship ― a system of competitions for solving engineering cases among students, schoolchildren and young professionals. Participation in the event allows you to gain unique knowledge about the work of industry companies and demonstrate skills and competencies. The organizers are Reliable Change Foundation, Non-profit Partnership "Youth Forum of Mining Leaders" and "Astrology".

FEFU student teams regularly receive the right to represent the university in the finals of the prestigious youth competition and eventually become its prize-winners. This year, 82 students from 21 university teams tried their hand at the qualifying stages, of which six teams reached the All-Russian finals at once. It should be noted that the training of engineering personnel for the development of the innovative economy of Russia is one of the priorities in the university's activities and the main mission of the FEFU Polytechnic Institute.
