Novolipetsk Metallurgical Combine (part of the NLMK International Group), together with Lipetsk State Technical University (LGTU), became a partner in Lipetsk for the qualifying stage of the Metallurgy League of the VI International Engineering Case-in Championship.

According to NLMK's press service, the Case-in Engineering Championship is the largest engineering case-solving competition attended by students from specialized universities in Russia and the CIS countries. It consists of full-time and part-time qualifying stages at university sites, as well as the final stage, which takes place in Moscow. Participants solve an engineering case, a practical problem based on an actual industry or production situation. In 2018, the championship is dedicated to the development of the Arctic.


LGTU students are taking part in the championship for the second time. It is expected that this year 15 university teams of 4 people will compete for a ticket to the finals. Ten days before the championship, student teams need to solve an engineering case prepared by the organizers and defend their ideas before an expert commission consisting of representatives of NLMK and LGTU.

"Novolipetsk Combine is interested in improving the system of engineering personnel training and forming the engineering elite of Russia. By participating in the Case-in championship, students of our basic university are actively involved in solving real problems of industrial enterprises, learning from the invaluable experience of the best companies. This will help them build their career trajectory while still students and become a member of the NLMK Group's professional team upon graduation," said Irina Yefimchuk, NLMK HR Director.

According to the results of the qualifying stage, the best team of LSTU students will represent the region at the final stage of the Case-in championship, which will traditionally be held in Moscow. In 2017, the national team of NLMK and LGTU has already won both the qualifying and the final stages of the competition in the Metallurgy League. Another team consisting of employees of the energy complex of the combine took the third place in the competitions of the "League of Young Specialists" of the "Case-in" championship.

The official opening of the qualifying stage of the Metallurgy League will take place on February 21 at 10:00 a.m. in the hall of the Academic Council of LGTU (Moskovskaya St., 30). The next day, the guests of the championship will take an excursion to various NLMK production facilities.
