On October 7, 2017, Moscow hosted the Youth Day of the International Forum on Energy Efficiency and Energy Development "Russian Energy Week". More than two thousand young and future employees of the fuel and energy sector, including students, young professionals and schoolchildren, took part in the Youth Day.

The Youth Day site hosted the final competitions of the largest youth competitions and championships, round tables, meetings of youth associations, quests and other events.

The key event was a double premiere related to International Engineering the CASE-IN Championship: The cross–cutting theme of the 2018 Championship, "Arctic Development," was presented and the League of Young Professionals competitions were held.

The development of the Russian Arctic region is one of the most pressing topics on the Russian government, business and information agenda. Solving practical tasks dedicated to the development of the Arctic region is designed to stimulate the intellectual potential of Russian youth in the fuel and energy complex and make a real contribution to solving the problems of the Arctic.
The first solutions on this topic were proposed during the Youth Day by the debutants of the "CASE-IN" − young specialists.

16 teams representing the leading companies of the fuel and energy and mineral resource complexes took part in the competitions of the League of Young Specialists "CASE-IN".: JSC "System Operator of the Unified Energy System", PJSC "Gazprom Neft", LLC "Gazprom Neft Scientific and Technical Center", PJSC "Enel Russia", JSC "Zarubezhneft", PJSC "Unipro", PJSC "T Plus", PJSC "Moscow United Electric Grid Company", PJSC "Orenburgneft", PJSC ROSSETI, JSC Siberian Anthracite, PJSC Tatneft, PJSC RusHydro, PJSC Novolipetsk Metallurgical Combine, JSC SUEK.

In accordance with the task of the case "The New integration future of the Russian Arctic", the participants had to:

  • to assess the prospects of the proposed package of projects in the Russian Arctic;
  • identify local infrastructure opportunities and prospects for the development of transport corridors in the Russian Arctic;
  • to assess the possibilities of implementing innovative solutions for the development of Arctic urbanization and integrated regional projects;
  • to formulate the business models of the main operators of projects in the Russian Arctic and propose the principles of their coordination.

The experts who evaluated the teams' decisions were representatives of JSC "System Operator of the Unified Energy System", PJSC "Enel Russia", GKU "Energetika" of the Department of Housing and Communal Services of the city of Moscow, PJSC "Gazprom Neft", PJSC "Rocket and Space Corporation "Energia" named after S.P. Korolev, LLC "UES-Garant", St. Petersburg State University of Economics, Gazprom Promgaz JSC, OTEK JSC, NUST MISIS, PJSC T Plus, Ural Federal University named after the first President of Russia B.N. Yeltsin.

Due to the large number of teams willing to participate in the League, the defense of decisions was organized in two streams and identified equal winners and prize-winners in both streams.

First place Gazprom Neft PJSC teams took over "Kilowatt Hunters" and the team of PJSC Enel Russia Enel Energy

The Cup of the International Engineering Championship "CASE-IN" the winners were personally presented by the Minister of Energy of the Russian Federation Alexander Novak on the main stage of the Youth Day.

In second place Respectively, the OrenEnergy (PAO Orenburgneft) and PAO Tatneft (PAO Tatneft) teams.

Bronze medalists The 4 Barrels teams (Gazprom Neft NTC LLC) and NLMK National Team (Novolipetsk Metallurgical Combine PJSC) became their streams.

The awards to the winners of the CASE-IN League of Young Professionals were presented by Artem Korolev, Director of the Reliable Shift Foundation, and Pavel Sharypanov, Head of the Personnel Management Department of JSC SO UES.

Based on the results of the competition, a rating of companies participating in the League of Young Professionals "CASE–IN" was formed, which is posted on the Championship website. the website of the International Engineering Championship "CASE-IN".

According to the results of the League of Young Specialists, Gazprom Neft PJSC and Enel Russia PJSC share the first place in the rating; Orenburgneft PJSC and Tatneft PJSC occupy the second position, Gazprom Neft PJSC and Novolipetsk Metallurgical Combine PJSC occupy the third position.

It is planned that in 2018 the topic of Arctic development will become a cross-cutting topic for all leagues of the International Engineering Championship "CASE-IN". Future geologists, mining engineers, metallurgists, engineers of the oil and gas industry and the electric power industry will offer their solutions to the problems of the Arctic region.

Andrey Izmailov, Head of the Energy Department of GAZPROM NEFT PJSC: "Arctic Development – This is a promising topic. There are huge resources concentrated in the Arctic, and the need for such a project is obvious. There are a lot of interested parties, there are opportunities for solving the problems of the Arctic both from the government and from companies. The very topic of Arctic development as a case study is a good impetus for young engineers."

The new season of the Championship starts at the end of February 2018 at the winning universities of the CASE–IN-2017 and will last until the Finals, which, according to tradition, will be held in Moscow in May 2018 at the Vernadsky State Geological Museum of the Russian Academy of Sciences.

Throughout the "CASE-IN−2018" season, its qualifying stages will be held both at leading technical universities in Russia and neighboring countries, as well as at the venues of major industry and youth forums and conferences.

In the new season of "CASE-IN", schoolchildren will join the solution of cases.

The Reliable Change Foundation has been using the case study method in working with schoolchildren for four years. Annually within the framework of Interregional Summer Educational Forum "Energy of Youth" national teams of schoolchildren, students and young specialists solve engineering cases in the field of energy. Similar competitions were held in 2015 as part of The All-Russian competition program "Energy of the start", which the Reliable Change Foundation implements jointly with the Global Energy Association for the Development of International Research and Projects in the Field of Energy.

Students of grades 9-11 from 10 regions of Russia, including Moscow, St. Petersburg, Ivanovo, Rostov, Samara, Sverdlovsk, Tyumen and Tomsk regions, Krasnoyarsk and Stavropol Territories, will participate in the CASE-IN−2018 School League. Students from other regions of Russia will be able to participate in the competition in consultation with the Organizers.

The School League competitions will start in October 2017. The winners will be awarded at the Finals of the International Engineering Championship "CASE-IN" in Moscow. The winners of the School League will receive vouchers to the All-Russian children's centers "Eaglet", "Smena" and "Ocean".

With the opening of the League of Young Specialists and the School League, the International Engineering CASE-IN Championship makes a real contribution to the popularization of engineering professions and engineering education in Russia and strengthens the use of case methodology in the process of engineering training, primary professional testing and selection of the best students by fuel and energy Complex and MSC companies.

Participants of the League of Young Professionals "CASE-IN" − about the development of the Arctic:

 

NLMK National Team (PJSC Novolipetsk Metallurgical Plant): "During the time of solving the case, the Arctic has transformed for us from permafrost into a region of fierce rivalry between powers and their technologies".

The Energia ENEL team PJSC "Enel Russia": "The case was very different from our daily work, forcing us to think strategically, go beyond the company's activities and consider the complex relationships between business, government and local residents."

The Kilowatt Hunters Team (Gazprom Neft PJSC): We did not expect such a serious topic for the case! Diving into such a strategic issue in such a short time "swept" us through all emotional stages from despair to the deepest positive perception. When receiving the assignment, it seemed that we knew absolutely nothing about the Arctic!..
Each of us has learned to think big, without localization. We realized the complexity and thoughtfulness of the state program. Such an experience will be a good help for us to go beyond the usual framework of everyday thinking and a great motivation for personal growth."


The 4 Barrels team (Gazprom Neft STC LLC): "Arctic exploration is a new branch of development not only for Russia, but also for other countries that own the territory of the Arctic circle. The more we thought about the problems of the Arctic and their solution, the more original and unusual ideas we offered. At the same time, it was clearly understood that of the many existing problems, the issues of energy development and international cooperation in the Russian Arctic are the most urgent."

NLMK National Team: "The Russian Arctic must be suitable for the life of our people, the protection of our borders, a symbol of strength, the crown of Russia."

The Energia ENEL team: "The Russian Arctic must be innovative, environmentally friendly, prosperous and economically diversified."

The OrenEnergy team: "The Russian Arctic should be a supporting territory for the development of Russia's diverse economic and political interests. The Russian Arctic is a storehouse of Russia's energy potential." 

The Kilowatt Hunters Team: "First of all, the Russian Arctic must be efficient and safe. The resource-oriented nature of the Russian economy does not allow us to think broadly, going beyond the usual mining. Adding a cycle of processing minerals and creating a finished product directly in the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation will allow us to diversify our country's economy and form a powerful production cluster and social sector in the Arctic."

The 4 Barrels team: "The Russian Arctic should be a center of international cooperation developing in all directions. The Arctic region has everything necessary to create the prerequisites for the creation of innovative ideas for the development of the continental and offshore zones."

The team of PJSC Tatneft: "The Russian Arctic must be affordable, cost-effective, and innovative."
