RusHydro supports the international engineering championship "CASE-IN"

Representatives of RusHydro evaluated the final work of the participants of the International CASE-IN Championship in the field of "Electric Power Industry". RusHydro became a partner of the largest engineering competition in Russia and the CIS countries, which was held in Moscow for the third year in a row.

Also, representatives of the Company, among the experts, participated in the qualifying rounds of the Student League of the Championship, held on the basis of Sayano-Shushensky branch of Siberian Federal University in Khakassia, Novosibirsk State Technical University, The Moscow Power Engineering Institute and the Volga branch of the University. The topics of the students' work included the most sought-after areas, such as digital transformation and the development of the monitoring system of the UES of Russia.

The CASE-IN Championship is a team competition for solving engineering cases dedicated to real production problems and developed based on materials from industry enterprises. More than 4,000 representatives of 56 universities from the regions of Russia and the CIS countries take part in the event annually. The works are evaluated by representatives of leading companies in the fuel and energy and mineral resource complexes, scientific and educational institutions, and government authorities. The Student League in the field of "Electric Power Industry" has been held since 2015. 

RusHydro joined the CASE-IN project in 2017. For three years now, with the support of the company, the Volga branch of the Moscow Power Engineering University and the Sayano-Shushensk branch of the Siberian Federal University have been hosting the qualifying stages of the Championship. In 2017, the SIBFU team won the bronze medal in the final of the "CASE-IN" in Moscow. In 2018, the RusHydro team, which won the League of Young Specialists of the Championship, developed a project for the technological development of the Russian fuel and energy complex, which was then held as part of the Youth Day of the Russian Energy Week International Forum submitted to the leadership of the Ministry of Energy of the Russian Federation.

Support for educational projects and initiatives is an important area of RusHydro's Concept of Advanced Human Resource Development "From New School to Workplace." It is aimed at the targeted development of key competencies of future hydropower specialists from an early school age, training students in energy specialties, taking into account the requirements of PJSC RusHydro, and creating the necessary conditions for the effective work of young employees.
