On May 25-27, 2022 in Moscow The final of the X season of the International Engineering The CASE-IN Championship, which is included in the presidential platform "Russia is a land of opportunity". Over the course of three days, 600 students of specialized universities and young specialists from leading companies from 42 regions of Russia, Belarus and Kazakhstan demonstrated innovative developments on the topic of "Industry 4.0" to the country's industry community and raffled off the main prizes of the anniversary season.

In 2022, the CASE-IN championship brought together participants of the School and Student Leagues, as well as the League of Young Professionals and Special leagues of PJSC "T Plus". In total, 6,753 future and young engineers participated in the development of projects on the topic "Industry 4.0" during the season.

Opening the event, the founder and co-chairman of the organizing committee of the CASE-IN Championship Artem Korolev He said that the project started in 2013 with one student's field "Mining" and 13 participating universities. Today, these are 10 areas in the Student League, separate competitions for schoolchildren and young professionals, as well as dozens of corporate projects under the auspices of CASE-IN.

"The ten-year path of the championship was long and thorny, but at the same time it flew by in one breath. It took the organizers several years to work out all the details and convince the participants, experts and teachers of the practical significance of the project. Today, the CASE-IN brand is well-known in many universities, large companies, and even related industries. But the championship would not have been so successful without the support of our friends and partners: ANO "Russia — the land of Opportunities", federal agencies, industry companies and universities. Together, as one friendly team, we have educated more than one generation of promising future engineers. But we are not going to stop there. The championship has ambitious plans ahead — to become an integral part of educational and production processes in every specialized university in the country and an industry company. I am sure that in close cooperation with our partners we will be able to carry out our plans," said Artem Korolev.

Welcoming the finalists at the award ceremony, Director General of ANO "Russia — the Land of Opportunities" Alexey Komissarov He noted that in 10 years the Student League has become the most widespread in terms of the number and geography of participants: "If earlier the league united students only from "mining" universities, then in the jubilee X season 10 diverse areas are represented here: automation and IT, geological exploration, mining, mining machinery and equipment, metallurgy, oil and gas, petrochemistry, project engineering, industrial safety, electric power industry.

134 teams of 108 universities from 44 cities of Russia met in the final of the Student League, including a team from the Republic of Kazakhstan and 3 teams from the Republic of Belarus. I am sure that their ideas will find application at the country's leading production sites, and the contestants themselves will become highly qualified specialists in the foreseeable future."
15 youth teams from 14 companies have reached the finals of the League of Young Professionals: they have developed projects for changes in the management system that will ensure technological development and minimize the risks associated with the irretrievable loss of qualified personnel.

Traditionally, as part of the CASE-IN, PJSC T Plus holds its own competition: the final brought together youth teams from 6 branches who developed and presented promising technologies to improve the quality of energy supply.

Every year, the national partner of the championship is Ministry of Energy of the Russian Federation. Guest of the final, State Secretary — Deputy Minister of Energy of Russia Anastasia Bondarenko He believes that the engineering championship occupies an important place in the youth policy of the industry.

"The Russian Ministry of Energy has been supporting the championship for several years. In our opinion, the events that take place under the auspices of CASE-IN have a positive impact on the popularization of the fuel and energy complex and are already an integral part of the youth agenda of the fuel and energy complex. For young professionals, this is a good starting point and a promising opportunity to work in the country's leading companies," Anastasia Bondarenko said at the award ceremony.
