Irkutsk students – participants of the TASS press conference dedicated to the results of the "CASE-IN"

The IRNTU Lagrange's Theorem team participated in the TASS press conference dedicated to the results of the X International Engineering Championship "CASE-IN".

As previously reported, students of the Institute of Subsoil Use Evgeny Rudykh, Viktor Kovrizhnykh, Mikhail Semykin and Sergey Kobylinsky led the championship in the field of "Oil and gas business". The Polytechnic students have successfully solved the case of PJSC Yakutsk Fuel and Energy Company. The final of the intellectual tournament was held in Moscow on May 25-27.

Alexey Agafonov, First Deputy General Director of ANO Russia-Land of Opportunities, and Artyom Korolev, founder of the CASE-IN championship, took part in the press conference. Representatives of PJSC Yakutsk Fuel and Energy Company and JSC Gazstroyprom, winners of the jubilee season of the School and Student Leagues, as well as the League of Young Professionals, joined the meeting online.    

According to Alexey Agafonov, CASE-IN entered the presidential platform four years ago.:  "The championship is developing annually, offering many opportunities for schoolchildren, students and young professionals. The leaders of the School League receive additional points for the Unified State Exam, the triumphant students get a chance to go on a dream internship, as well as continue their master's or postgraduate studies at partner universities without passing the entrance exams. The best young specialists join the managerial personnel reserve of their companies».

Artyom Korolev reported that over 30,000 people had become participants during the project. About eight thousand students were employed in the fuel and energy complex, companies of the nuclear industry and related industries.:  "We are currently planning to develop the championship in the international arena - we have developed the concept of national championships for solving engineering cases."

In addition, Artem Korolev addressed the history of the project, noting the very first CASE-IN champions. Among them is Yana Kuzkina, a former student of IRNTU, who won in the field of Electric Power Engineering in 2015.

The participants competing in the oil and gas business are supported by PJSC YATEK. This year, students from IRNTU, the Far Eastern Federal University and the Northeastern Federal University named after M.K.Ammosov will go on paid internships.

"The children will be paid for travel, provided with housing and access to technologies that are used in production. During the month of practice, students will see the process of gas production at wells, get acquainted with the techniques of well repair and methods of eliminating accidents, and immerse themselves in the work of the project office", – said Anton Nedosekin, the company's Deputy General Director for Geology, Geophysics and Field Development.

During the press conference, Irkutsk Polytechnic students shared their impressions of the championship.

"This is the fourth time we have participated in the tournament, improving our results every year. We managed to win the third place in the previous championship, and now we are the winners. There were many strong contestants in the field of "Oil and Gas business". We have proposed a technology for the production of ammonia from natural gas, as well as a way to utilize the carbon dioxide released during this process. A promising solution was the creation of a gas chemical cluster for the production of ammonia, methanol, carbamide and bioprotein", - says Evgeny Rudykh.

Then the floor was given to a student of the Kemerovo Lyceum, Grigory Plaksin. Sibur-Kstovo employees spoke on behalf of the League of Young Professionals.

REFERENCE: CASE-IN is included in the presidential platform "Russia is a country of opportunities". The purpose of the championship is to popularize engineering and technical education and attract promising young specialists to companies in the fuel and energy and mineral resource complexes.
