Why the challenge? It was necessary to formulate a business task that would be interesting for students of all universities of the Russian Federation to solve and not only set the task, but also to learn from working together with students, with a generation that understands modern trends and technologies, and something new for our company. The solutions presented by the teams have already shown people who are ready for the challenges of Industry 4.0.

The largest aluminum producer at the championship oversees the Metallurgy direction. RUSAL's leading specialists develop case studies for students, and then evaluate the projects of future metallurgists.

"We gained a lot of experience and a flurry of emotions. 9 teams of students from universities of Belarus, Kazakhstan and all over Russia participated in our direction. After the defense of the works, there were many interactive platforms that helped to relax, cheer up and get to know companies that had never even been heard of before. The prizes are very cool and varied. We hope that we will be able to reach the finals once again and take not the second, but the victorious first place.", — shared it Angelika Starovoitova.

In the new season, metallurgist students will face a new task: to develop import substitution mechanisms that will reduce the cost of aluminum production and ensure high product quality standards and implement ESG principles.
