Students of the National Research University "MEI" — winners of the Autumn CASE-IN Cup

On December 9, 2024, the Lomonosov cluster hosted the final of the Autumn Cup of the International Engineering CASE-IN Championship, which brought together talented students and schoolchildren who are ready to present effective solutions for the development of Russia's leading industries.

In the framework of the Autumn Cup, the team of the National Research University "MEI" "Epoch of Resonance" took the second place. On behalf of ALROSA, the participants developed a logistics model for the company's fuel supply based on optimization methods and lean manufacturing tools, ensuring the achievement of an equilibrium price and economic efficiency in the planning horizon until 2029.

Nikolai Rogalev, Rector of NRU MEI, noted the role of the university's long—term cooperation with the championship in training the younger generation of engineers: "The Championship is a huge school. You assemble a team, study technology, compete, worry, and this energy boost helps you develop and move forward."

The school team "4 Variables" from Smolensk became the winner in the "Breakthrough solution" nomination. The team was led by experienced experts from the National Research University "MEI" together with Maria Trefilova, a student of the Engineering and Economics Institute of the National Research University "MEI".

The Autumn Cup is held with the support of the presidential platform "Russia – the land of opportunities". The CASE-IN Student League is supported by the National Research University "MEI" and the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation.
