On March 27 and 29, 2019, the qualifying stages of the student League were held in the Samara region. The VII International Engineering Championship "CASE-IN". For the first time in the history of the championship, two main universities in the region - Samara State Technical University and Tolyatti State University - became the venue for the qualifying stage. SIBUR became the strategic partner of the championship in the direction of Petrochemistry.
 
This year's theme was "Digital Transformation". 16 student teams from the Samara region competed in solving a case study on the digitalization of production processes. The students were faced with the task of conducting a comprehensive risk assessment and identifying reserves for economic efficiency growth from digital transformation projects at SIBUR enterprises.
According to the organizers, the case has a number of alternative solutions, none of which is unambiguously correct or incorrect. The technical competence of the participants, the logic of the decision, the quality of the design and presentation at all stages of the Championship are crucial.
 
- There is no doubt that the participants did a lot of work, put a lot of effort and emotions into the preparation and subsequent presentation. The case that the participants had to solve contained by no means trivial tasks. – said a member of the expert council, Head of the Planning and Economic Department of SIBUR Togliatti Konstantin Vasiliev. - Therefore, the students had to use not only their theoretical knowledge, but also their horizons and the ability to think outside the box.
The winners in the field of Petrochemistry were the team of the Chemical Technology Faculty of SamSTU "Radical Chain" and the team of the Institute of Chemistry and Environmental Engineering of TSU "Fanfics". They will represent the Samara Region in the finals, which will be held in Moscow at the end of May, and thus will be able to apply for an internship at the country's leading domestic companies.
- Participation in the championship «CASE-IN» It became a test of our strength and professional capabilities.,- said the captain of the Radical Chain team Olga Repina. – University knowledge is one thing, but here they set specific tasks for a specific production. Moreover, the cases are very creatively designed: at first it seems that the solution lies on the surface, but then the brains begin to "boil". And it's very cool!
