NEFU hosted the qualifying stage of the CASE-IN Engineering Championship

The qualifying stage of the thirteenth season of the International Engineering CASE-IN Championship, the theme of which this year is devoted to technological innovations, has ended at Northeastern Federal University. 35 teams from the main university and branches took part, which presented solutions in the following areas: "Geological exploration", "Mining", "Oil and gas business", "Electric power industry".

CASE-IN unites young promising specialists today. The experts, mentors, and supervisors involved in the Championship help ensure that it is an effective system for selecting and searching for qualified personnel. A total of 18,500 participants are expected to participate in school, student and special leagues this year. The winners of the qualifying stages will take part in the final, which will be held in May 2025 in Moscow.

"This is a great opportunity for our students to show themselves in front of representatives of the expert community, partners of the engineering championship and work with real engineering cases. Remember, today's victory is a pass to the semifinals, where you will face the strongest teams from other universities. And only the winners of this stage will be honored to reach the grand final," Alexey Golikov, NEFU Vice Rector for Educational and Methodological Work, greeted the participants. 

Maxim Tereshchenko, Minister of Industry and Geology of Yakutia, recalled that the Championship is supported by large mining enterprises in the region and the country, which is an excellent opportunity for students to prove themselves. Addressing the participants, he emphasized their role in shaping the future: after all, CASE-IN is a platform for those who strive for growth and are ready to work for the prosperity of their native land.

The founder of the International Engineering Championship, Artyom Korolev, shared in his speech: 55% of the participants of the Championship believe that its ecosystem has influenced their subsequent path, and 83% of the participants would like to return to the CASE-IN site.

Gennady Guryanov, First Deputy General Director of the presidential platform "Russia – the Land of Opportunities", explained that CASE-IN was created 13 years ago to promote engineering and technical education and educate future highly qualified specialists. "During all this time, the Championship has brought together more than 120,000 schoolchildren, students and young professionals in Russia and neighboring countries. 90% of the school-age participants enrolled in leading universities, and a third of them received additional USE points for successful performance in the championship, 42% of young professionals were promoted at work within a year of participation. The participants of the 13th season will have to solve real practical engineering cases from Russian companies. You will gain valuable practical knowledge and engineering competencies on the project," he said.
