The largest international CASE-IN championship opened in Lipetsk

Engineers are competing. The largest international CASE-IN championship has opened in Lipetsk. Students of technical universities from all over the country offer solutions to various engineering problems, such as plant construction, oil refining or electric power industry.

In total, more than 4,000 students from 52 universities will take part in this championship. They will pass the qualifying stages in their respective regions. Then the winners will meet in the final, which will be held at the end of May in Moscow. The opening ceremony of the championship was held at Lipetsk Technical University. This honor was earned by the students of LGTU, who won the Metallurgy League last year, which once again proved the high level of personnel training in the region.

Yuri Taran, Deputy Head of the Lipetsk Region Administration: "Our region is industrial not only because it has a powerful metallurgical base. A few years ago, we entered into bold economic experiments. And today one of the successful economic zones, the Lipetsk SEZ, is developing not far from our regional center. The second playground has opened. Therefore, our region is not only metallurgical, but also machine-building. We hope that this development will take place together with science, with those specialists who are currently studying at our universities." 

The main theme of this year's championship is Arctic exploration. Students will have to solve several engineering problems related to the construction of bases, new icebreakers, the invention of machinery, mining, metallurgy and the oil and gas industry.

Denis Prikhodko, student of LGTU, winner of the 2017 CASE-IN championship: "When I got acquainted with the case, I thought it was very interesting. Here, each solution can be unique. I can't tell you the specifics yet, but I'm sure the solutions that will be presented today will be very interesting."
