Future engineers will present digital prospects for the development of the Far East in Moscow

The final of the autumn cup of the Student League of the International Engineering Championship "CASE-IN", a competition included in the presidential platform "Russia – the land of Opportunities", has started in Moscow.

The autumn cup "CASE-IN" is a new wave the international engineering championship "CASE-IN" – competition systems for solving engineering cases among schoolchildren, students and young specialists of fuel and energy and mineral resource complexes. The competition will last for two days – December 12-13. 24 student teams from eight federal districts will take part in them. They will present proposals to experts on the digitalization of advanced development territories (TOP) located in the Far East.

Anton Inyutsyn, Deputy Minister of Energy, welcoming the participants, noted that 200 universities were invited to the CASE-IN Autumn Cup competitions, and only 22 teams managed to qualify for the finals.

"Thanks to the CASE-IN championship, we keep in touch with youth, universities, companies and the ministry. Schoolchildren can get additional USE points upon admission to 18 universities, students get to know companies at the training stage, and young professionals achieve professional growth by developing new areas of their activities. We believe that CASE-IN is an active social elevator along with such federal competitions as Leaders of Russia. Next year, we will give the participants of the championship a new opportunity to express themselves: we will hold the forum "Young Leaders of the Fuel and Energy Complex" specifically for the winners of federal industry youth events," Inyutsyn said, quoted in a press release received by the editorial office of the newspaper VZGLYAD.

Luka Gorubin, Project Manager of ANO Russia – Land of Opportunities, stressed that the platform already unites 23 projects. "The main indicator of the effectiveness of a project is what happens to the participants after its completion, and the CASE–IN championship has proven its effectiveness. It allows schoolchildren to go to university, students to graduate and postgraduate studies, and gives young professionals the opportunity to complete internships, internships, or get a job in a real business. The autumn cup "CASE-IN" became a continuation of the main season of the championship and allowed to increase the number of participants in each region of Russia.: Over 2,000 young people worked on the ideas of digital transformation at the Autumn Cup," Gorubin said.

Andrey Platonov, Deputy Head of the Federal Agency for Youth Affairs, noted that the participants are doing a great job: "This is a significant contribution to the high-quality youth policy of our country, which we strive to implement. You are competitive, you have a priority over those who do not solve real problems, are not prepared for real work. You have already improved your professional competencies, but "CASE-IN" involves working in teams, intellectual competitions, and this is already working on your supra-professional competencies. On the part of Rosmolodezh, we are ready to support your initiatives."

Students from 207 Russian universities who are training in engineering specialties in eight federal districts of Russia were invited to participate in the competition. Each federal district is represented in the finals by the winning teams of the qualifying stages.

The Autumn Cup is dedicated to the single theme of the 2019 season, "Digital Transformation." During the competition, students worked on solving the case "Digital prospects for the development of the Far East."

"The finalists of the Autumn CASE-IN Cup have developed digital solutions for promising energy projects in the territories of advanced development (TOP) of the Far East, and also substantiated the safety of production processes and the economic efficiency of their ideas. The knowledge and competencies of future engineers have already been tested by experts in the regions. I am sure that the best solutions presented at the final of the Autumn Cup will also attract the attention of specialists," said Artem Korolev, founder and co–chairman of the Organizing Committee of the CASE-IN International Engineering Championship.

The students' decisions will be evaluated by an expert commission, which will include representatives of the championship's partner companies. The culmination of the final of the Autumn Cup will be the awarding ceremony of the champions and prize-winners, which will be attended by the members of The "CASE-IN" Hall of Fame and the winners of the previous years' championship.
