The qualifying stages of the Case-in will be held at the Far Eastern Federal University (Vladivostok)!

The V anniversary International Engineering Championship "Case-in" starts in February 2017

In 4 months, the Championship will cover 47 universities from 35 regions of Russia and the CIS countries. More than 3,000 students will compete for a ticket to the finals of the Championship, which will traditionally be held in Moscow on May 30-31, 2017.

The Case-in International Engineering Championship is Russia's only federal case championship of fuel and energy and mineral resources complexes, an effective tool for transferring practical knowledge, experience and new competencies to future engineering specialists. The championship includes 5 areas (Leagues): Electric power industry, Mining, Geological exploration, Metallurgy, Oil and gas business.

The Minister of Energy of the Russian Federation Alexander Novak, welcoming the participants of the 2017 Championship, notes: "Over the five years of its implementation, the Championship has become an authoritative industry platform bringing together all parties interested in developing Russia's engineering and technical potential.: the government, companies, higher education institutions, sectoral public initiatives, and advanced youth.

By participating in the Championship, you get involved in solving real problems of industrial enterprises, learn from the invaluable experience of outstanding professionals, and have the opportunity to build your career trajectory while still a student. All the knowledge and competencies that you will acquire during the Championship, you will have to prove in the very near future, already as young specialists."

The championship is a competition in which student teams need to solve an engineering case prepared based on materials from leading industry companies in ten days and defend their ideas before an expert commission consisting of representatives of industry companies, scientific and educational organizations.

The championship consists of in-person qualifying stages held at university venues and the Moscow final for the best teams.

The organizers of the Championship are the Reliable Change Foundation and the Youth Forum of Mining Leaders Non−profit Partnership. The League on Electric Power Industry is co–organized by the International Council for Large High−Voltage Electrical Systems CIGRE, and the League on Oil and Gas Industry is co-organized by Tyumen Industrial University.

By tradition, the opening ceremony of each league of the Championship will be held at universities whose team won the league in the previous season, so the official opening of the Championship will take place at several leading universities in the country: Ural Federal University named after the first President of Russia B.N.
