About the championship

The Case-in Championship, which is being held for the seventh time, has joined the Russia - Land of Opportunity platform this year. Competitions are held in several leagues, including for schoolchildren, students and young professionals. The contestants must solve engineering problems related to the fuel and energy and mineral resource industries.

About 5,000 people applied to participate in this year's championship. The winners and prize-winners will be able to enroll in master's and postgraduate studies at leading Russian universities without entrance tests, and will also receive valuable prizes.

The Russia - Land of Opportunity platform was launched at the World Festival of Youth and Students in Sochi in October 2017 at the initiative of the President of the Russian Federation. It unites various educational, human resources and social projects that promote the self-realization of citizens and the promotion of public initiatives. ANO "Russia - the land of opportunities" was established in May 2018 to develop the platform of the same name.
