According to the results of the CASE-IN championship, the team of the Siberian Federal University TMNT took the first place in the field of Metallurgy.

 "The main task is to ensure that our case solution is chosen by the commission. Therefore, in the tasks set by the CASE-IN, it is important to see the whole situation, compare disparate information and be able to argue your position. Thanks to participation in the competition, we not only developed our professional competencies, but also were able to make new acquaintances, and also get additional points for admission to the master's program, which is very important to me."- said Angelina Chan, a member of the TMNT team. 

The CASE-IN Championship is an international competition system for solving engineering problems among schoolchildren, students and young professionals. The championship is included in the presidential platform "Russia — the land of opportunities" and is implemented within the framework of the federal project "Social Elevators for Everyone" of the national project "Education".
