The defense of design solutions took place in the format of presentations before a competent jury, which included the university's faculty and representatives of leading biotechnology research Institute companies - JSC GENERIUM, Federal State Budgetary Budgetary Institution Federal Scientific Center for Vegetable Growing, N.F.Gamaley Federal State Budgetary Educational Institution NITSEM.

The case for the participants was developed by the strategic partner of the championship, NPO TN-Biotech, one of the leaders in the field of biotechnology.

The students had to solve an urgent production task related to the development of a full-cycle carbon dioxide processing technology.

According to the results of the evaluation of case solutions, the following teams became winners:

1st place was taken by the team "Gmologists", which was represented by students of the 1st year of the master's degree in the field of training 04/19/2011 Biotechnology.

The 2nd place was taken by the MegaBacilli team, which included 4th-year undergraduate students in the field of Agricultural Chemistry and Agro-soil Science on 03/35/03.

3rd place - the Timococcus team, consisting of 1st and 2nd year undergraduate students in the field of 19.03.01 Biotechnology.

The winners received the right to represent Timiryazev Academy in the next stage of the CASE-IN championship.
