NEFU students will compete for the right to represent the university at the final of the CASE-IN

Today, on March 30, the opening of the regional stage of the International Engineering CASE-IN Championship took place at Northeastern Federal University. Following the results of the qualifying round, the winning teams will take part in the finals in Moscow.

Anna Roze, a representative of the organizing committee of the championship, noted that Northeastern Federal University has been participating in the championship since the first year. The main theme of this year is the development of the Arctic. The agenda of the championship is always formed based on the global challenges facing the country, she stressed Anna Rose: «Such a challenge, of course, is the exploration and development of territories and deposits of the Arctic territories, and the most important in this regard is the influx of competent personnel to work with analytical projects. Following the results of the championship, we will receive more than 4,000 decisions on the development of the Arctic across the country. Thus, the participants of the CASE-IN will be able to make a real contribution to the development of the Arctic region.».

Acting Rector of the Federal University Evgeniya Mikhailova She noted that the topic of Arctic development is important for the whole of Yakutia and the Far East. "52% of the country's territory is the Arctic zone. It is not only the extraction of resources and the development of deposits that is important here, the main thing for you and me is the rational use of natural resources and the preservation of a unique environment. Therefore, the development of technologies that can allow us to save what we have today and leave it for future generations is the most important task.", – the head of the university spoke, wishing all participants success.

The university has four areas of the championship – mining, geological exploration, oil and gas business and electric power industry. Students of physics and technology, engineering, mining institutes and the Geological exploration faculty take part in them. Students of the Mirny Polytechnic Institute (NEFU branch) also came to compete for the right to represent the university.

The solution of the case problems will be evaluated by an expert commission represented by the NEFU faculty, scientists from the Institute of Mining SB RAS and representatives of specialized enterprises.
