The International Engineering Case-in Championship is Russia's only federal case championship, an effective tool for transferring practical knowledge, experience and new competencies to future engineering specialists. The organizers of the championship are the Reliable Change Foundation and the Non−profit Partnership Youth Forum of Mining Leaders. The League on Electric Power Industry is co–organized by the International Council for Large High−Voltage Electrical Systems CIGRE, and the League on Oil and Gas Industry is co-organized by Tyumen Industrial University. In 2017, the national partners of the championship are five federal ministries − the Ministry of Energy, the Ministry of Natural Resources, the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Labor and the Ministry of Industry and Trade, as well as the Federal Agency for Youth Affairs (Rosmolodezh) and the Agency for Strategic Initiatives to Promote New Projects.
