The qualifying stage of the International Engineering Championship "Case-in" will be held at Pacific State University (Khabarovsk)

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.

Russian Energy Minister Alexander Novak, welcoming the participants of the 2017 Championship, noted: "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 based on materials from leading industry companies in ten days and defend their ideas before an expert panel consisting of representatives of industry companies, scientific and educational organizations.

The championship consists of in-person qualifying stages, held at university sites, 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.

The jubilee championship includes 85 stages at the venues of 47 leading technical universities in Russia and the CIS countries. The Pacific State University qualifying round will be held in March.

In the final, which will be held in Moscow on May 30-31, 2017, the winning teams of the qualifying stages will compete for the title of the best engineering student teams and for the opportunity to complete internships and internships in leading industry companies. The winners of the Mining and Electric Power Engineering Leagues will also have a chance to participate in the annual summer educational programs "Mining School" and "Energy of Youth".

In 2017, five federal ministries will act as national partners of the Championship: the Ministry of Energy of the Russian Federation, the Ministry of Natural Resources and Ecology of the Russian Federation, the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation, the Ministry of Labor and Social Protection of the Russian Federation, the Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation, as well as the Federal Agency for Youth Affairs (Rosmolodezh) and the Agency for Strategic Initiatives to promote new projects.

The Case-in International Engineering Championship is a 15−week marathon of close cooperation between future specialists and professionals of the fuel and energy complex and the Moscow Energy Complex. The championship invites partners to participate: industry companies, universities, scientific associations – all organizations and departments interested in developing the human resources potential of fuel and energy and mineral resource complexes.
