Students of thermal power Engineering at SPbGUPTD begin their competitive path at the CASE-IN championship

March 12, 2025 St. Petersburg State University of Industrial Technologies and Design will once again become the site of the qualifying stage of the Student League of the XIII season of the International Engineering CASE-IN Championship. The competition is part of one of the flagship projects of the presidential platform "Russia — the land of Opportunities". Students of thermal power engineering, including those from SPbGUPTD, will defend their decisions, and the strongest teams will represent their university in the industry semi-final.

It should be recalled that the University of Industrial Technologies and Design has been a venue for the "Thermal Power Engineering" competition since the start of this field in the championship line and will be held for the third time. In the first year of the direction's implementation, the university team presented a project for a multifunctional technological complex for the capture and utilization of carbon oxides with subsequent processing into secondary fuels and carbon. The complex also includes an installation for processing solid household waste into pure green hydrogen. From year to year, the team of students of thermal power engineering at SPbGUPTD becomes one of the winners of the qualifying stage.

The theme of the championship in 2025 is "Technological Innovation". At SPbGUPTD, students will present solutions in the field of Thermal Power Engineering. The partners of the championship have prepared tasks for the participants based on real production situations: youth teams will justify ways to provide a consumer with a maximum heat load of 1.0 Gcal/h, located at a considerable distance from a centralized heat supply source.

The CASE-IN is supported by the presidential platform "Russia — the Land of Opportunities", as well as 170 other major partners — from federal agencies, including the Ministry of Energy of Russia, the Ministry of Construction of Russia, the Ministry of Labor of Russia, the Ministry of Education and Science of Russia, the Ministry of Education of Russia, Rosmolodezh, to companies in the fuel and energy and mineral resource complexes, oil and gas, petrochemical and nuclear industry, metallurgy, architectural and construction design and other industries.

The teams that perform the best at the qualifying stage at SPbGUPTD will advance to the semifinals and compete for tickets to the finals in Moscow.

The champions and prize-winners of the Student League will have the opportunity to enroll in master's and postgraduate studies at specialized universities on preferential terms, complete internships and internships at partner companies, and will also be invited to industry youth educational forums.
