Future metallurgists from 9 universities are developing solutions for efficient aluminum production

Students from 9 universities are developing innovative solutions for the development of metallurgy in the XII season of the International Engineering Championship "CASE-IN". The authors of the best solutions will have opportunities for professional growth and a career start. The championship is held with the support of the presidential platform "Russia – the land of opportunities".

The partner of the Metallurgy direction is RUSAL – a leading company in the global aluminum industry, the largest producer of aluminum with a low carbon footprint.

On behalf of the company, future metallurgists analyze the threats and opportunities for the development of modern aluminum production and develop mechanisms to improve the efficiency of business processes and the technological chain of production. Students' decisions will have to take into account the concept of lean manufacturing.

Metallurgist students compete at 9 universities: These are Irkutsk National Research Technical University, Komsomolsk-on-Amur State University, Lipetsk State Technical University, Magnitogorsk State Technical University named after G.I. Nosov, St. Petersburg Mining University of Empress Catherine II, North Caucasus Mining and Metallurgical Institute, Siberian State Industrial University and Siberian Federal University. Students from other universities will be able to participate in the open qualifying stage, which will be held remotely in April.

The decisions of the contestants are evaluated by RUSAL experts and teachers of specialized universities.

The strongest teams will go to the finals in Moscow, which will be held in Moscow at the end of May 2024. The participants will present their solutions to the experts and take part in educational events.

The winners and prize-winners of the Metallurgy field, who have created the most promising projects, will receive benefits upon admission to master's and postgraduate studies, as well as an invitation to complete a paid internship with the possibility of further employment.

In addition, the winners will be able to attend industry youth educational forums and travel around Russia as part of the "More than a Journey" program.
