Projects for the development of the mining industry will be presented in the Magadan region

The qualifying stage of the XIV season of the International Engineering CASE-IN Championship of the Presidential Platform "Russia — the land of Opportunities" will take place in Magadan. Students will present solutions for the development of the mining industry. The championship is included in the "Science to Win" initiative of the plan for the Decade of Science and Technology in Russia.

During the case study phase, students from Northeastern State University worked in teams to solve problems related to the main theme of the season, "Technologies of the Future." In 10-14 days, young people have developed projects to ensure the full digitalization of leading industries and the introduction of artificial intelligence and digital twins.

During the qualifying round, student teams present their breakthrough solutions face-to-face to an expert commission consisting of specialists from industry companies, specialized organizations and universities. The winners will have a remote semi-final, and only the best of the best will receive tickets to the championship finals.

The teams of future mining engineers will present solutions aimed at reducing unplanned technological downtime (loss of working time) and the overall economic effect for the enterprise using the example of the Udachny mine. The assignment for students was developed by ALROSA JSC (PAO).

At the final of the CASE-IN championship, which will be held in Moscow at the end of May 2026, students will not only present their final projects to the expert community, but also share their experiences with peers, receive advice from industry professionals, and be able to join the youth community of current and future engineers.

The champions and prize—winners of the season will receive benefits for admission to master's and postgraduate studies, paid internships and internships in partner companies with the possibility of further employment. In addition, the winners will go to industry youth educational forums.

The International Engineering CASE-IN Championship is held with the support of the presidential platform "Russia — the land of Opportunities". The organizers of the Championship are the Reliable Change Foundation, the Non-profit Partnership Youth Forum of Mining Leaders and AstraLogica LLC.
