The architectural and construction direction of CASE-IN is recognized as the best social project in the field of education

The direction of the Student League "Architecture, Design, Construction and Housing and Communal Services" of the International Engineering CASE-IN Championship became the winner of the program "The best social projects of Russia" in the category "Education and Talent Development". The championship is held with the support of the Presidential Platform "Russia – the land of opportunities". 

The Best Social Projects in Russia program has been bringing together leading organizations developing initiatives in the field of corporate social responsibility and social entrepreneurship for more than 13 years. In 2026, 741 applications were submitted to the competition, and 99 best projects were included in the final register. 

The initiator and strategic partner of the Architecture, Design, Construction and Housing and Communal Services direction is the Metropolis company. It is being implemented with the support of the Russian Ministry of Construction and is included in the Roadmap of the Government of the Russian Federation to increase the prestige and demand for professions in architecture and construction. This underlines the high importance of CASE-IN for the formation of the country's human resources potential. 

This year, the geography of the course covered 2,500 students from 44 state universities in 33 cities of Russia. The competition is based on solving real production tasks, which allows students to go beyond academic disciplines, apply knowledge in practice, and develop teamwork and analytical thinking skills. For future architects, designers and engineers, this is an opportunity to see the real demands of the professional environment and make an informed career choice. 

Today, the architectural and construction sector creates an effective platform for interaction with young talents. Metropolis gets the opportunity to evaluate students' approach to solving complex problems, and universities get to strengthen the link between theoretical training and real business needs. 

The training of qualified personnel is of long-term importance: the quality of infrastructure and the urban environment depends on them. Another recognition at the federal level confirms that the championship, with the support of Metropolis, successfully serves as a social elevator for young people and a reliable bridge between education and industry.
