Engineering solutions for the Arctic are being presented in Belgorod today

Engineering solutions for the Arctic region of Russia will be presented in Belgorod. On March 13, 2018, Belgorod State National Research University will host the qualifying stage of the Mining courseStudent League of the International Engineering Championship "CASE-IN".Future specialists will present engineering solutions on the topic of "Arctic Development".

The event will be attended by:
Ekaterina Bogomaz – Deputy Head of the Department of Youth Policy of the Belgorod region
Denis Aleksandrovich Zaitsev– Chief Project Engineer at NTC NOVOTEK LLC
Mikhail Vladimirovich Kitov – Deputy Head of the Department of the Agro - industrial Complex and Environmental Reproduction of the Belgorod Region
Oleg Nikolaevich Polukhin – Rector of BelSU University

Yulia Vitalievna Solodyankina – HR Director of JSC KMAruda Plant
Evgeny Bronislavovich Yanitsky – Deputy General Director for Scientific Work of VIOGEM OJSC
 Representative of JSC MHC EUROCHEM

During the qualifying stages, the participants will present a project for the development of a coal deposit in Yakutia as part of the unified theme of the Arctic Development championship.
The decisions of the participants will be evaluated by an expert commission consisting of specialists from OOO NTC NOVOTEK, JSC KMAruda Combine, GEOMIX, JSC MHC Eurochem and others.

The teams that presented the best solutions in each area will become finalists of the Student League of the International Engineering Championship "CASE-IN".

The International Engineering CASE-IN Championship is an international competition system for solving engineering cases among schoolchildren, students and young specialists in the fuel and energy and mineral resource industries.

The purpose of the Championship is to popularize engineering and technical education and attract the most promising young specialists to the fuel and energy complex and the MSC.

The CASE-IN Student League is a competition in which students of leading universities in Russia and neighboring countries need to solve an engineering case prepared based on materials from leading industry companies in ten days and defend their ideas before an expert commission consisting of representatives of industry companies, scientific and educational organizations.

In 2018, during the qualifying stages of the Championship, more than 4,000 students from 52 universities compete in six industry areas: geological exploration, mining, metallurgy, oil and gas, petrochemistry, and electric power industry.

The championship aims to attract the intellectual potential of young people of engineering specialties to solving urgent practical problems facing the Fuel and energy Complex and the Moscow Industrial Complex of Russia. In this regard, in 2018, all areas of the Championship are united by the common theme "Arctic Development".

"We expect that involving the youth of the fuel and energy complex in solving problems in the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation will yield concrete practical results: new development ideas, nature-saving technologies for the development and transportation of resources, new forms of cooperation and investment attraction. And most importantly, the number of talented and caring young people who are ready to work for the benefit of our great country will grow.", − said the Minister of Energy of the Russian Federation Alexander Novak.

The development of the Russian Arctic region is one of the most pressing topics on the Russian government, business and information agenda.

"The energy sector development agenda is largely shaped by the global challenges facing the country. One of these challenges is the exhaustion of resources and the need to explore and develop territories and deposits, primarily in the Arctic zone. The anchors for the development of the Arctic are precisely energy projects, which form the basis of all other priorities – the transport and logistics complex, metallurgy, etc. Personnel training in the interests of Arctic development is an absolute priority. Our goal is to attract the best and most motivated students from all over Russia to work in the Arctic zone." Representatives of CASE-IN's national partner, the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation, emphasized during the Youth Day of the Russian Energy Week International Forum on Energy Efficiency and Energy Development.

The "CASE-IN" season consists of over 110 qualifying stages and a grand Finale.

In the finals, which will traditionally be held in Moscow on May 30-31, 2018, the winning teams of the qualifying stages will compete for the title of the best engineering student teams of the year and for the opportunity to complete internships and internships in leading industry companies. The winners of the mining and electric power fields will also have a chance to participate in the annual summer educational programs "Mining School" and "Energy of Youth".

In 2018, the national partners of the Championship are the federal ministries − The Ministry of Energy of the Russian Federation, the Ministry of Natural Resources and Ecology of the Russian Federation, the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation, the Ministry of Labor and Social Protection of the Russian Federation, the Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation, the Ministry of the Russian Federation for the Development of the Far East, as well as the Federal Agency for Youth Affairs (Rosmolodezh) and the Agency for Strategic Initiatives to Promote New Technologies projects.

The championship is held with the support of leading companies of the Fuel and energy Complex and MSK, including JSC SO UES, LLC Transneftenergo, PJSC NK Rosneft, PJSC SIBUR Holding, PJSC FGC UES, JSC SUEK, JSC MHC EuroChem, JSC Rosgeologiya, LLC Mycromine Rus, LLC Vostochnaya Mining Company, JSC Siberian Anthracite, LLC EvrazHolding, LLC IBM Montan, PJSC RusHydro, PJSC NLMK, United Company RUSAL, Sverdlovsk Branch of PJSC T Plus, Saratov Branch PJSC T Plus, LLC Siberian Generating Company, LLC Prosoft-Systems, LLC Raspadskaya Coal Company, JSC Vyksa Metallurgical Plant and others.

The organizers of the Championship are the Reliable Change Foundation, the Non-profit Partnership Youth Forum of Mining Leaders and AstraLogica LLC. The co-organizer of the Electric Power Industry direction is the Association "Russian National Committee of the International Council for Large High Voltage Electrical Systems".

Registration of participants and experts of the new season takes place on the Championship website. http://case-in.ru.

For reference
The International Engineering CASE-IN 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 championship is held in the following Leagues:
 School League (for 9th − 11th grade students);
League of Working Specialties (for students of secondary specialized educational institutions);
Student League (for undergraduates, undergraduates, and postgraduates of higher education institutions);
 League of Young Specialists (for young specialists of fuel and energy complex and MSC companies).

The Championship is being implemented in accordance with the Action Plan aimed at popularizing the working and engineering professions, approved by Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 366-r dated March 5, 2015.

The championship is included in the List of all-Russian youth events aimed at popularizing the fuel and energy complex, energy conservation and engineering education for 2018.

The championship was organized using a grant from the President of the Russian Federation for the development of civil society provided by the Presidential Grants Foundation.
