The new season of the competition will be dedicated to the technological modernization of Russia.

During the championship competitions, which will be held over several months in 5 areas (leagues), future and young engineers will develop case solutions on the topics of fuel and energy and mineral resource complexes. This year, a new direction for students in grades 6-10 has also appeared — in engineering.

"Based on projects such as CASE-IN, together with companies and universities, we are creating social elevators for the most talented and motivated future engineers. It is important that young professionals and students launch thousands of specific projects that will be supported by companies and universities and further implemented in practice," said the Deputy Minister of Energy of the Russian Federation. Anton Inyutsyn.
 

The Deputy Minister also noted that the Russian Ministry of Energy plans to hold several events under the auspices of the CASE—IN at the Russian Energy Week 2020 international forum.

"This year, the REN youth track may reach 5,000 people. To date, 90 largest fuel and energy companies and more than 70 universities have already joined the preparation of the Youth Day. As part of the championship, we will hold a "CASE-IN" Media TECH for the second time, and an international case—solving competition among students from the BRICS countries is also planned," he explained.

The CASE-IN Championship is traditionally held in five leagues: the School League, the League of Working Specialties, the Student League, the League of Young Professionals and the Special League.

High school students, as last year, will solve cases, and students will be able to express themselves in engineering and technical creativity. The guys will have to perform operating devices that are directly related to the fuel and energy complex. The works of the young inventors will be evaluated in two categories — with and without the use of electronic components," said Artem Korolev.

JSC "System Operator of the Unified Energy System" will act as a partner of the new School League "CASE-IN". The basis of the direction was the competition of engineering solutions for schoolchildren, which JSC SO UES and the Reliable Change Foundation have been implementing since 2007 as part of the School—University—Enterprise youth training system.
