Irkutsk Aluminum Plant specialists are experts of the CASE-IN championship

RUSAL has traditionally been a partner of the CASE-IN International Engineering Championship in Metallurgy. For the company, the event became an excellent platform for replenishing the external personnel reserve of the Irkutsk Aluminum Plant.

The qualifying stage of the XIII International Engineering CASE-IN Championship was held at IRNTU. The work of the participants, who solved cases in the interests of various industrial enterprises, was evaluated by an expert commission, which included employees of the Irkutsk Aluminum Plant of RUSAL.

This time, Evgeny Tabakov, Director of the IRKAZ anode pulp production, and Ivan Gamayunov, manager of the Electrolysis Production Planning and Analysis department, became experts in the Metallurgy field.

"This is the second year that I have been participating in this championship as an expert.  This year, the number of teams that presented their solutions in the field of Metallurgy has increased. The overall theme of the Championship in 2025 is "Technological Innovation". The students were offered original solutions to engineering cases using artificial intelligence, machine vision, additive technologies, and deep processing of aluminum production waste. I believe that the championship is a unique opportunity to attract promising employees to the company for employment after graduation. And our task here is to present the company to students in order to enhance the company's image and recruit new employees.", - Ivan Gamayunov, Manager of the Electrolysis Production Planning and Analysis Department at RUSAL's Irkutsk Aluminum Plant, told the audience.

The winning teams of the qualifying stage will receive tickets to the next stage of the championship - the semi–finals, where they will demonstrate their skills. The semi-finals will determine the finalists for each industry area.

Champions and prize-winners of the project will be able to complete internships in partner companies of the project with the possibility of employment, including RUSAL.

Today, work with young people is among the priorities of RUSAL's social program. Industrialist Oleg Deripaska laid the foundation for this policy when he founded the company more than 20 years ago.
