Future specialists in the field of oil and gas, electric power industry and biotechnology at Almetyevsk State Technological University Higher School of Petroleum took part in the qualifying stage of the Student League of the XIII season of the International Engineering CASE-IN Championship, which is included in the presidential platform "Russia – the land of opportunities", and is also included in the initiative "Science to Win" of the plan of the Decade of Science and technologies in Russia.

The participants of the qualifying stages, which in 2025 will be held on the basis of 83 partner universities of the championship, will solve cases on the topic of "Technological innovations" in teams. 

On March 13, students and postgraduates presented their solutions in the areas of "Oil and Gas business", "Electric Power Industry" and "Biotechnology" at the AGTU HSE. All the tasks for the participants were based on the actual production situations of the partner companies of the championship. The teams' decisions were evaluated by leading experts from partner companies, university professors and researchers.

The strategic partner of the Oil and Gas Business in 2025 is the Yakutsk Fuel and Energy Company, the System Operator of the Unified Energy System in the Electric Power Industry area, and Tatneft in the Biotechnology area. 

In the field of Oil and Gas business, 45 students from 12 teams presented the solution to the case. In just 10 days, the teams developed a solution to monetize gas resources by implementing low-tonnage LNG projects in the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) in accordance with the strategy to increase the efficiency of field development within the framework of the "Technological Innovation" concept. The first place in the qualifying stage in the field of "Oil and gas business" was taken by the team "B.IT " (Abdullin Ilnar, Taziev Rinat, Zagidullin Ilnur), who will represent the university in the semifinals of the championship. The second place was taken by the Oil well team (Arina Korneeva, Artur Trofimov, Kirill Osipov, Galiya Kudryavtseva), the third place by the Resource team (Hakim Khanifov, Pavel Khorkov, Ilyas Lugmanov, Alina Semenova). 

38 students from 10 teams competed in the field of Electric Power Engineering. The case was devoted to the application of technological innovations for the development of the electric power industry of the UES of Russia. The winner of the qualifying stage and the semi-finalist of the championship was the Mechanicum team (Mustafin Radmil, Yana Derzhinskaya, Danila Baranovsky, Artem Barkov). The second place went to the Tesla-team (Tikhanova Maria, Nigmatullina Aigul, Ganin Amir), the third place went to the Energy Titans team (Timur Koraboev, Sayfullin Ildar, Nurmiyeva Regina, Samigullin Ildar).

In 2025, the Biotechnology field debuted at the championship, initiated by NPO TN-Biotech LLC (PJSC Tatneft).  In the qualifying stage at the AGTU HSE, 28 participants from 7 teams offered their solutions for the development of full-cycle CO2 processing technology. The first place in the direction was taken by the Energy of Thought team, consisting of students from Samara State Technical University (Ekaterina Yeroshenko, Victoria Glushkova, Daria Antokhina, Marina Kabanova). In second place is the Cyberbecurity team (Yulia Kokorina, Olga Pyanova, Anna Paradnik), which, according to the rules of the championship, also received a ticket to the semifinals. The third place was taken by the team "Three Hearts and one DNA" (Ekaterina Kostina, Nigmatullina Rezeda, Denmark Aitova, Regina Shaidullina).

Thus, the teams that took the highest places in their respective directions will represent the AGTU HSE in the remote semi-finals in their respective directions. The authors of the strongest solutions will receive tickets to the finals, which will be held in Moscow at the end of May 2025.

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 also attend industry youth educational forums.
