Tomsk students won the MediaTek Special League of the CASE-IN Championship

The team of Tomsk Polytechnic University became the best in the competitions of the MediaTek Special League of the CASE-IN International Engineering Championship. The event, organized by the Reliable Change Foundation in cooperation with Tomsk Polytechnic University, was held as part of the Youth Day of the Russian Energy Week International Forum.

The cases related to the fuel and energy complex of the country were solved by eight teams from Russian universities.

As a result, the first place was awarded to the AVA team from TPU, which included Anastasia Rif, Varvara Tsvetkova and Anna Kaidashova, students of the Engineering School of Energy. Last year, the girls they became the winners of the special ECO-CASE league  the "CASE-IN" championship.

The second place in the MediaTek competition was taken by the team from St. Petersburg State University, the third — from PNRPU.

"The essence of our project was to create our own methodology for choosing the best employer in the fuel and energy sector, the mineral resource complex and the nuclear industry. Since our team is trained in the specialty "Nuclear power plants", we considered the nuclear industry. After creating the methodology, we tested it on students of our specialty and compiled a rating of the best employers in the nuclear sector.", - the participants speak.

 The project also involves digitalization so that anyone can find a job, regardless of their specialization.

It was the first time that female students participated in such a large—scale event, the Youth Day of the Russian Energy Week Forum. In particular, representatives of TPU managed to ask questions to the Deputy Prime Minister of Russia Alexander Novak, the general director of the state corporation "Rosatom" Alexey Likhachev.

"The scale and level of organization of the event are amazing. At the same time, we could participate in a dialogue on equal terms, ask questions to speakers of such a high level. For example, we asked Alexander Valentinovich Novak about whether renewable energy sources (RES) are truly one hundred percent environmentally friendly, as well as how the issue of recycling elements for renewable energy production is being resolved today. In addition, I was concerned about what other issues that are important for the possibility of energy transfer remain unresolved. Alexey Evgenievich Likhachev spoke about the projects implemented by Rosatom as part of the Ecology national project in 2021 and the plans for 2022.", — the girls celebrate.
