The youth teams of the Nizhny Novgorod region became the winners of the Autumn Cup of the CASE-IN Championship

The SIBUR-Kstovo team called "Challenge accepted" consisting of Lyubava Bukhtoyarova, Andrey Tyulin, Alexander Khvalin and Denis Shiryaev became the silver medalist of the final stage of the Autumn Cup of the X International Engineering Championship "CASE-IN" in the League of Young Specialists. The mentor of the team is Gennady Grishin, Chief Engineer of SIBUR-Kstovo. Other winners of the League were the teams of Zarubezhneft and Gazprom Transgaz Tchaikovsky.

36 teams of leading Russian industrial companies took part in the Autumn Cup draw in the League of Young Professionals, 9 of which, having overcome the qualifying round, competed in the finals. In total, 12 teams became winners and prize-winners of various leagues of the Autumn Cup of the championship.

In 2022, the championship was held under the banner of Industry 4.0. During the season, young professionals, schoolchildren and students worked on cases compiled by CASE-IN partner companies related to the development of digitalization and the introduction of information technologies on production sites.

Traditionally, the most popular in the Autumn Cup were the School and Student Leagues, in which 191 and 721 educational organizations participated, respectively. Moreover, in the final of the School League, students solved the case proposed by SIBUR - "Industry 4.0: new competencies". The students developed the concept of an educational platform for staff training and development based on Industry 4.0 technologies and assessed how the introduction of these technologies would affect SIBUR's ESG ratings.

For the first time in the history of the project, the Super Bowl "CASE-IN" was held at the Autumn Cup, timed to coincide with the X anniversary championship and bringing together 5 winning teams from previous seasons. The silver medalist of the Super Bowl was the MirITeam Nizhny Novgorod State Technical University named after R. E. Alekseev, who shared the podium with the teams of St. Petersburg Mining University and MISiS.

The CASE-IN International Engineering Championship is one of the projects of the presidential platform "Russia - the land of Opportunities", in which teams of young and future engineers of fuel and energy and mineral resources complexes take part. ALROSA, SIBUR, Gazstroyprom, RusHydro and Schlumberger Technology Company became partners of the Autumn Cup of the CASE-IN Championship in 2022. Representatives of partner companies, as well as heads of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation, Rosmolodezh, and other federal agencies took part in awarding the winners and prize-winners.

Artem Korolev, founder and co-chairman of the organizing committee of "CASE-IN": "For 10 years, together with our partners, fuel and energy companies, industry universities, colleges and schools, we have been educating the future generation of Russian engineers. Concluding season X, I want to acknowledge everyone's contribution and thank them for their hard work. Our participants are the calling card of "CASE–IN", with their achievements they promote engineering and technical specialties among the youth industry. By completing one season, we are smoothly bridging the gap to another and preparing new interesting cases, competitions and other educational products for the participants."

Denis Shiryaev, Senior Project Manager, SIBUR-Kstovo, Captain of the Challenge accepted team: "Last season was very successful for our team. First, we won the regular CASE-IN championship in the League of Young Professionals, then the Cup of the International Engineering Championship, which was played as part of the All–Russian Occupational Safety Week held in Sochi. Now they have become the winners of the Autumn Cup. It turned out to be a kind of hat trick. In addition, we became the winners of the SIBUR Young Professionals Forum finals. Each time we analyzed different cases, this is a good training for solving real production tasks at our enterprise."
