On December 12, 2019, the final of the Autumn Cup of the International Engineering Championship "CASE-IN", one of the projects of the Presidential Platform "Russia – the land of Opportunities", opened in Moscow. Over the course of two days, 24 student teams from 8 federal districts will present proposals to experts on the digitalization of advanced development territories located in the Far East.

The autumn CASE-IN Cup is a new wave of the International Engineering Championship of the same name, an international competition system for solving engineering cases among schoolchildren, students and young specialists of the fuel and energy and mineral resource complexes.

"The goal of our support for the CASE-IN Championship is to strengthen the project as a social elevator for young people and attract as many students, schoolchildren and young professionals as possible to the engineering competitions. The Autumn Cup became a continuation of the main season of the Championship and allowed to increase the number of participants in each region of Russia.: More than 2,000 young people worked on the ideas of digital transformation at the Autumn Cup," said Vladislav Davankov, Deputy General Director of ANO Russia - Land of Opportunities.

Students from 207 Russian universities who are training in engineering specialties in eight federal districts of Russia were invited to participate in the Autumn Cup competitions. Each federal district will be represented in the final by three winning teams from the qualifying stages.

The CASE-IN 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 decisions of the students in the final of the Autumn Cup will be evaluated by an expert commission, which will include representatives of the partner companies of the Championship.
