The qualifying stage of the CASE-IN engineering championship has started in NEFU

143 students and young specialists will defend their projects at the NEFU named after M. K. Ammosov during the regional selection stage. The VII International Engineering CASE-IN Championship. The students will present their solutions to the problems of the fuel and energy and mineral resources industries. The best works will represent Yakutia in Moscow.

As the representative of the organizing committee of the championship told Dmitry Serdyukov, all competitions this year will be held under the general theme "Digital transformation". "Today, the use of information technology in production is one of the most important tasks of the global economy," Serdyukov stressed.

He added that the 2019 season will be a record in many respects – more than 7,000 participants, 1,200 experts, 36 partners, seven federal ministries, 57 universities, 34 regions of Russia and the CIS countries.

The Yakut stage of the CASE-IN brought together 36 teams and 143 participants, who will be divided into five areas – "Geological exploration", "Mining", "Oil and gas business", "Electric power industry" and "League of Young Specialists". In addition to students, young specialists from fuel and energy and mineral resource companies participate. Experts expect extraordinary solutions to pressing problems in the manufacturing industry.

"The fields of geological exploration and mining are of the greatest interest to us. This is due to the fact that the search for deposits requires the introduction of new technologies, engineering solutions and other innovations. Production processes are changing in the mining industry, and the level of robotization and automation is growing. All this requires new competencies and non—standard solutions," the Deputy Chief surveyor of the Mirninsky Mining and Metallurgical Complex of ALROSA shared his thoughts Mikhail Petrunin. He also expressed hope to find new personnel during the competition.

The winners of the qualifying stage will have the opportunity to participate in the final stage of the championship and compete for the title of champion in Moscow on May 30-31.
