UGNTU will act as a venue for the qualifying stage of the CASE-IN championship

UGNTU students are invited to participate in the XIII season The International Engineering CASE-IN Championship.

The purpose of the championship is to popularize engineering and technical education and train specialists for companies in the fuel and energy complex, the Moscow Energy Complex, the nuclear industry and related industries. 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 – the 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.

According to tradition, UGNTU became a partner of the championship this year. The Ufa Higher School of Economics and Management is organizing the event.  The qualifying stage will be held on March 14, 2025 at the UGNTU Boiling Point site. UGNTU teachers and invited specialists from industrial partner companies will act as experts. 

The competitions will be held in the following directions: "Biotechnologies", "Petrochemistry", "Oil and gas business", "Project engineering". 

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 championship finals. 

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 managerial personnel reserve of companies. In addition, the authors of the best ideas will receive invitations to industry youth educational forums.
