An educational seminar "Case Intensive" will be held at TPU

On December 8-9, 2021, an educational seminar "Case Intensive" will be held in Tomsk on the basis of the National Research Tomsk Polytechnic University.

During the seminar, students and university professors will share their experiences of participating and holding events based on solving practical case studies in real situations. 

"The seminar grew out of the scientific and educational conference "The Method of engineering cases: achievements and challenges of the future", which we held in 2019, - explains the Director of the TPU Strategic Initiatives Support Center Elena Vorontsova, - the topic itself - the organization of projects – led us to the idea of making a "mobile" event for the exchange of experience and the expansion of competencies. Thanks to the participation of our colleagues, the seminar will truly become a concentration of professionalism, practice of real cases, experience, working strategies and modern technologies for the preparation and implementation of practice-oriented events."

The seminar includes lectures, trainings and master classes on the effective organization of case events, as well as a case battle to apply the acquired knowledge in practice.

The seminar is organized by the National Research Tomsk Polytechnic University with the support of the Reliable Shift Charitable Foundation and the Federal Agency for Youth Affairs (Rosmolodezh).

The seminar will bring together about 100 university students and teachers, both beginners and experienced organizers of case events, including The International Engineering Championship "CASE-IN".

"Next year's championship"CASE-IN"it's 10 years old. The main thing that we have managed to create in the first decade is a large and strong community, whose members attract young people, generously share their experiences and enrich the project with their ideas and energy. The initiator and engine of the seminar are our friends and colleagues from TPU, among the participants are other "old–timers" of the project: Ural Federal University named after the first President of Russia B. N. Yeltsin, Kuzbass State Technical University named after T. F. Gorbachev and St. Petersburg Mining University", - says the founder and co-organizer of the organizing committee of the CASE-IN championship Artem Korolev. 

In addition to representatives of universities, representatives of the Reliable Change Foundation and the Association of Russian Trainers will be the speakers of the seminar.

Participants will learn the specifics of organizing projects offline and online and learn how to build relationships with partners, experts, speakers and the media. The organizers will also tell you how to attract and motivate participants, promote and finance the project, and how to manage risks.
