The qualifying stages of the "CASE-IN" brought together 5,000 schoolchildren, students and young professionals

The qualifying stages of the School, Student League and the League of Young Specialists of the VII International Engineering Championship have ended in Russia and the CIS countries. «CASE-IN». 5,076 young people took part in them. «CASE-IN» – one of the ANO projects "Russia is a land of opportunity", created on the initiative of Russian President Vladimir Putin Putin.

The CASE-IN Championship 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. Competitions are held in several leagues: the school league, the league of working specialties, the student league, the league of young professionals and the special league.

The leagues for schoolchildren, students and young professionals were held from December 1, 2018 to April 30, 2019. The ideas of the participants were evaluated by managers and specialists of more than 300 fuel and energy complex and MSC companies in almost 60 regions of Russia.

In the school league, teams of 9th–10th grade students created power supply systems for Russian cities in hypothetical conditions for the cessation of operation of nuclear and thermal power plants. 130 teams applied for participation in the league competitions, and 54 teams from 27 regions of Russia offered the best ideas.

Diamond prospecting and mining, the development of an oil field, the development of a petrochemical enterprise, the creation of a chatbot prototype, the improvement of steel production, diagnostics of power transmission lines and monitoring of transients of the Unified Energy System of Russia - all these topics were developed by students of 57 leading technical universities in Russia, Belarus and Kazakhstan. During the championship, they solved engineering cases − practical tasks developed with the participation of leading Russian companies. The theme common to all assignments was "digital transformation."

Young specialists also took part in the championship. Youth teams from 40 fuel and energy companies and MSK designed the digital integration of large–scale energy and infrastructure projects in the Far East into a macro-regional system in the Asia-Pacific region.
