MGRI students are finalists of the VII International Engineering Championship "CASE-IN"

The Sergo Ordzhonikidze Russian State Geological Exploration University hosted VII International Engineering Championship "CASE-IN". The project is included in the platform"Russia is a land of opportunity", created on the initiative of Russian President Vladimir Putin.

International Engineering Championship "CASE-IN" — this is an international competition system for solving engineering cases among schoolchildren, students and young specialists in the fields of fuel and energy and mineral resources complexes.

The championship is held in 57 universities in Russia and the CIS countries. During the qualifying stages in February –May 2019, more than 7,000 future and young engineers of the fuel and energy and mineral resources complexes are solving engineering cases on the unified theme of the Digital Transformation championship, one of the priority topics for the Russian and global economies.

The event was opened by Sergo Ordzhonikidze Vice Rector for Academic Affairs of the Russian State Geological Exploration University Vladimir Kulikov. He welcomed the participants and experts on behalf of the university's management and wished success to future engineers.

Project Manager of ANO "Russia – the land of opportunities" Luka Gorubin He called on the participants to continuously develop their personal and professional competencies and told the participants how the projects of the Russia – Land of Opportunities platform could help them in this.

The guest of the students was Vladimir Alexandrov, winner of the Leaders of Russia Management Competition, the flagship project of the Russia-Land of Opportunity platform. Continuing the theme of continuous development, Vladimir Alexandrov spoke to future specialists.: "It is important for an engineer, among other things, to understand and in areas that are not his areas of expertise. It helps to develop creative thinking, without which success in engineering professions is impossible. With the rapid change in technology and the abundance of information, it is important to be able to focus, to be able to verify the accuracy of information, and to always be one step ahead."

MGRI hosted the qualifying stage of the Student League in the fields of "Geological Exploration", "Mining" and "Oil and Gas business". The participants presented solutions to engineering cases – real production tasks based on materials from Russian companies.
