Voronezh industry youth joined the International Engineering Championship "CASE-IN"

On March 2, VGUIT hosted the qualifying stage of the Student League of the XI International Engineering Championship "CASE-IN", which is part of the Russia – the Land of Opportunities platform.

Oleg Mosolov, Deputy Chairman of the Government of the Voronezh Region, started the qualifying stage: "The most important thing is that the championship, which is being held for the 11th time, is actually designed not only to create a competitive effect, but to do the most important thing - to allow young people to feel like a real specialist, the person who will work in a real the economic sector. I am sure that due to the fact that the championship covers not only many areas, it lands on regional soil, which makes it possible to stay here on Voronezh soil. I wish you all success, everything does not end at the regional level, everything continues further. We wish you success and good luck, so that many of you can reach other levels and proudly say I am from Voronezh.

Vasily Popov, Rector of the University of Engineering Technologies, also noted the importance of the event for the university: "Such contests are a wonderful opportunity for teachers to get to know their students in a different context. Because it's one thing to see a student in a classroom, and to see how he struggles, solves practical problems, to see how leaders appear in teams, those people who are able to implement solutions appear. This is a good opportunity for students to learn about each other, to get to know classmates in practical work, when decisions need to be made in minutes and seconds – this is a completely different rhythm of life, a different attitude to knowledge. This is an opportunity for our industrial partners to look at the guys in action and maybe help us motivate them in the future and develop their managerial competencies."

Denis Plotnikov, Deputy Head of the Voronezh Region Department of Education, and Alexey Tkachev, Chief Technologist at Sibur, also wished the students success and productive work.
