Future metallurgists of NUST MISIS became finalists of the CASE-IN championship

NUST MISIS students took 2nd place in the semi-finals of the International Engineering CASE-IN Championship in Metallurgy and received a ticket to the finals. The participants were tasked with developing a project to implement ESG principles based on import substitution and import conservation mechanisms in the metallurgical industry, using the example of one of RUSAL's enterprises.

The students of MISIS University demonstrated not only knowledge in the field of metallurgy, but also a deep understanding of current economic trends and mastery of environmental topics. The team "Three in a boat, not counting metal" included students of the 1st-2nd years of the bachelor's degree at the Institute of Technology (Ecotech): Alyona Volodina, Daria Ponomareva, Ivan Ivlev and graduate student of the Department of Non-Ferrous Metals and Gold Ilya Morozov.

One of the most important components of success was the excellent training that the guys received as part of their studies at The MISIS University Project Initiatives Club. The experience gained in other business, industry and environmental championships also greatly helped. As a result, the guys' decision was not only awarded the 2nd place in the semifinals, but also recognized as the best in Moscow. Now they are continuing to prepare for the final, which will be held in May at the NUST MISIS site.

The CASE-IN Championship is an international competition system for solving engineering cases for schoolchildren, students and young professionals. The championship has been in existence since 2013 and is dedicated to the topics of fuel and energy and mineral resource complexes, the nuclear industry and related industries. Student League in the field of Metallurgy (held since 2016) — it takes place in the format of face-to-face qualifying stages, remote semi-finals and face-to-face finals among university students who, in teams of 3 to 4 people, solve engineering cases in the field of metallurgy, dedicated to real production problems and developed based on materials from industry enterprises. The decisions of the participants are evaluated by an expert commission with the participation of representatives of government authorities, leading companies, universities and industry research and educational centers.
