Students of the Amur region are preparing for the CASE-IN championship

Schoolchildren and students of the Amur region are invited to participate in the XIII season The International Engineering CASE-IN Championship. The championship is supported by the presidential platform "Russia – the land of opportunities" and it is included in the "Science to Win" initiative of the plan for the Decade of Science and Technology in Russia.

Participants will learn how to solve real production tasks and compete for the main prizes – additional USE points, paid internships and career prospects.
"In three years, the demand for engineers has increased 2.5 times. The CASE-IN championship has become an effective tool for forming the personnel reserve of companies in the fuel and energy complex and related industries. Thus, according to the project, 90% of school-age participants enrolled in specialized universities, and a third of them used the additional USE points provided by the championship. Among the students, 30% of the participants received invitations to practice. 42% of young professionals have been promoted at work during the year," said Gennady Guryanov, Deputy General Director of ANO Russia – Land of Opportunities. 

Competitions are held in three age categories: among schoolchildren, students and young professionals.

The Student League is traditionally distinguished by its scale — in the new season, in-person qualifying stages will be held in 83 specialized universities, and students from more than 200 universities will take part in them. There are 11 industry areas in this league: architecture, design, construction, and housing and communal services; biotechnology; geological exploration; mining; mining machinery and equipment; metallurgy; petrochemistry; oil and gas; electric power; design engineering; thermal power engineering.

This year's partners of the Championship were Amur State University, which will become a platform for the qualifying round in the areas of "Geological Exploration", "Petrochemistry", "Electric Power CO UES", "Electric Power Rosseti".

Student teams will have to develop projects to introduce innovations into production, which should become an impetus for achieving technological sovereignty and forming a strong and competitive national economy. The strongest teams of the qualifying competition will represent the region in the semi-finals. The authors of the best ideas will receive a ticket to the final stage of the Championship.

"When I first participated in the CASE-IN, I read this phrase: "A case has many solutions, there is no one right or wrong solution," so do not be afraid to try yourself in various competitions and Olympiads, because this creates growth points and allows you to immerse yourself more in your field of activity!" advises Tatiana Chekalova, a finalist of the Championship from the AmSU team.

The final of the CASE-IN championship will be held in Moscow at the end of May 2025. Young and future engineers will present the final versions of their solutions to the industry community, share their experiences with colleagues, receive valuable advice from experts and will be able to establish professional contacts for further implementation of their ideas.

The champions and prize–winners of the Student League will enroll in master's and postgraduate studies at partner universities on preferential terms, as well as complete internships and internships in partner companies with the possibility of further employment. The winning students will receive additional points to the results of the Unified State Exam when applying to bachelor's degree programs at one of the partner universities of the championship. The award for the best young professionals will be career and professional growth opportunities, as well as inclusion in the management personnel reserve of companies. In addition, the authors of the best ideas will receive invitations to industry youth educational forums.
