The Reliable Shift Foundation and the Gorchakov Foundation will create a new development trajectory for young engineers from the BRICS countries

Starting from 2027, participants of the BRICS League of Young Professionals of the International Engineering CASE-IN Championship will be able to apply for a professional internship in Russia as part of the InteRussia program. The Reliable Change Foundation for Educational Projects and the A.M. Gorchakov Foundation for Public Diplomacy announced a new format of cooperation on the Youth Day of the Russian Energy Week International Forum. The partnership will be supported by the Ministry of Energy of the Russian Federation.

The BRICS Young Professionals League CASE-IN is an international team competition for young engineers and specialists, in which participants develop solutions to current industry challenges and present their projects to Russian and international experts. The strongest teams of the national stages meet in the finals of the International Engineering CASE-IN Championship in Moscow.

In 2026, participants of the national stages of the BRICS League of Young Professionals presented about 50 projects in the field of energy, economics and sustainable development. The 11 finalist teams from eight BRICS countries - Brazil, Egypt, India, Indonesia, China, Russia, Ethiopia, and South Africa - discussed their decisions with experts in Moscow, exchanged experiences, and formed professional contacts with colleagues from other countries.

In 2027, during the jubilee season of the championship, the finalists of the BRICS League of Young Professionals will have new opportunities: the most motivated of them will be able to continue their professional program in Russia.  The Gorchakov Foundation will select 15 participants who, at the end of the CASE-IN finals, will participate in InteRussia, an international professional internship program for young foreign specialists.

"InteRussia is an opportunity for young foreign specialists to get acquainted with advanced Russian developments, gain practical experience and establish professional contacts. Together with leading universities and industry partners, we create conditions for the exchange of knowledge and the development of long-term international cooperation. Thanks to the partnership with CASE-IN, the participants of the BRICS League of Young Professionals will be able to continue their professional development within the framework of InteRussia, moving from solving competitive tasks to direct acquaintance with the Russian scientific and technological environment.", - said Victoria Karslieva, Deputy Executive Director of the Gorchakov Foundation.

An illustrative example of InteRussia's capabilities was one of the internships that took place in the energy sector in 2026 in the Republic of Tatarstan. For four weeks, the participants got acquainted with the industrial and innovative infrastructure of the region, took part in the International Electric Power Forum "ENERGOPROM - 2026", visited Innopolis University, energy companies and industry organizations.

"It is essential for us that now participation in the BRICS League of Young Professionals will be continued after the final of the CASE-IN, - said the director of the Foundation for Educational Projects "Reliable change", the founder of CASE-IN Artem Korolev, - The young engineer first proves himself in solving a real industry problem, passes a competition and comes to Moscow for the international final, and then gets the opportunity to continue his professional program in the InteRussia internship format. This is how we combine engineering competition, professional communication and familiarity with the Russian scientific and technological environment into a single international trajectory."

The BRICS League of Young Professionals is organized by the Reliable Shift Educational Project Foundation and the International Union of Instrument Makers and Information and Telecommunication Technology Specialists. The competition is supported by Rossotrudnichestvo, the Russian Energy Agency of the Russian Ministry of Energy and the Alexander Gorchakov Public Diplomacy Fund.
