Students will present solutions for the development of the electric power industry in the Arctic in Tyumen

The participants of the qualifying stage of the international engineering championship "CASE-IN" at Tyumen Industrial University (TIU) will present solutions to urgent problems in the field of electric power, oil and gas industry and petrochemistry in the framework of the development of the Arctic. The opening of the regional stage of the championship will be held on April 6, the press service of TIU reported on Monday.

"The new season of the championship started on February 20, it consists of more than 120 qualifying stages and the grand final in Moscow, which will be held at the end of May 2018. The university will host a qualifying stage among participants in three fields: Electric Power Engineering, Oil and Gas Business and Petrochemistry- said the press service.

The main objective of the championship is to attract the intellectual potential of young people of engineering specialties to solving urgent practical problems facing the fuel and energy and mineral resource complexes. "In this regard, in 2018, all areas are united by the common theme of "Arctic Development." More than 4 thousand students from 52 universities will compete in six industry areas: "Geological exploration", "Mining", "Metallurgy", "Oil and gas business", "Petrochemistry", "Electric power industry"- the university clarified .

The International CASE-IN Championship is a competition in which student teams solve a case-practical engineering problem in 10 days, based on a real production situation and prepared based on materials from industry enterprises. The teams then defend their ideas before an expert panel, which consists of representatives of industry companies, as well as scientific and educational organizations.

The Championship is the successor of the All-Russian Mining Case Solving Championship (2013-2014) and the All-Russian Fuel and Energy Case Solving Championship (2015). The organizers of the championship are the Reliable Change Foundation, the non-profit partnership Youth Forum of Mining Leaders and Astralogica LLC.

TIU was founded in 2015 after the merger of the two largest technical universities in the region, and is the main university in the region. In total, seven large-scale projects are being implemented at TIU, one of which is dedicated to improving the efficiency of the development of the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation. The Arctic development project is designed until 2020, during which time a center for solving problems of increasing the efficiency of the development of the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation will be created in Tyumen, and a comprehensive model for the development of hard-to-reach Arctic territories will be developed.
