The projects of the finalists of the CASE-IN engineering Championship are dedicated to the development of the Krasnoyarsk Territory

In Moscow, 38 teams of students and young professionals will compete for victory in the Autumn Cup of the International Engineering CASE-IN Championship. The finalists will present solutions for the digital industry and energy of the Krasnoyarsk Territory. The award will be a priority right to enter the partner universities of the championship in master's and postgraduate programs, an invitation to internships and internships with the possibility of further employment. In addition, the strongest participants will be able to enter the Club of winners and prize-winners of the CASE-IN.

The central theme of the XIII season of the CASE-IN championship was the development of the Krasnoyarsk Territory. More than 100 university teams have been working on the case "New Frontiers of the digital industry and energy of the Krasnoyarsk Territory" for three months.

The students identified the challenges of the new generation of personnel training system and designed educational and industrial clusters designed to modernize the region's multi-level vocational education system. The youth's solutions included the architecture of a cluster of engineers of the future, smart regional energy models, and scenarios for the transition to renewable energy sources.

Among the most ready-made ideas is the development of R&D, which will increase the number of researchers by 28 percent in accordance with the regional program.

The finalists also developed solutions for digital optimization of the Krasnoyarsk Hydroelectric Power Plant, Krasnoyarsk Synthetic Rubber Plant and other industrial facilities. The proposed measures make it possible to reduce accidents by 20-35% and reduce operating costs.

The participants paid special attention to human resources potential: the solutions provide for the formation of new engineering roles (AI engineers, microgrid engineers, ESG analysts) necessary for the digital transformation of the region's energy sector and overcoming the personnel shortage.

The team's ideas are also aimed at social tasks: strengthening youth in the region, creating high-tech jobs and developing an incentive system.

This area of the final CASE-IN is supported by the National Research University "MEI", the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation and SIBUR. The organizers of the CASE-IN championship are the Reliable Change Foundation, the presidential platform Russia – the Land of Opportunities, the non-profit partnership Youth Forum of Mining Leaders and AstraLogica LLC.The championship is included in the "Science to Win" initiative and the plan for the Decade of Science and Technology, which takes place in Russia in 2022-2031.
