The new season of the engineering competition "CASE-IN" has begun, the competition will begin on Thursday in Lipetsk, the championship will be dedicated to the technological modernization of Russia. "CASE-IN" is one of the projects of the presidential platform "Russia – the land of opportunities".

During the championship competitions, which will last for several months and will be held in five areas (leagues), future and young engineers will develop case solutions on the topics of fuel and energy and mineral resource complexes, according to a statement received by the newspaper VZGLYAD.

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 create 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 Anton Inyutsyn, Deputy Minister of Energy.

He noted that the 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 the mark of 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 MediaTek Case-in 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.

"In the new season, schoolchildren will be able to claim additional points for the Unified State Exam, and students will be able to receive benefits and even enrollment without exams in master's and postgraduate programs. As for the partner companies, we already have an agreement with 19 leading employers in Russia on the organization of internships for students. These are Sibur, Novatek, Tatneft, Alrosa, Rosatom, Rushydro, Rusal and others. The best participants of the League of Young Professionals will be included in a separate category of winners. In fact, they will be included in the personnel reserve, and companies will select professional personnel primarily from among them. But first, all participants will have three months of competitions and final tests, which will be held in May, where we will determine the best of the best," said Alexey Komissarov, CEO of ANO Russia – Land of Opportunities.

He added that after joining the platform, the CASE-IN championship attracted the maximum number of participants – 8,156 people from 34 Russian regions and CIS countries. In 2018, the total number of participants in all the leagues of the championship was about 5,000 people.

"One of the main goals of the competition is career guidance for children and youth, assistance in choosing their future profession. Therefore, in the new season, we are expanding the audience of the CASE-IN School League and providing new opportunities for young people. 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 young inventors will be evaluated in two categories – with and without the use of electronic components," said Artem Korolev, founder of the competition, co-chairman of the organizing committee of the CASE-IN championship.

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.

Winners and prize-winners will be able to receive from 1 to 10 additional USE points upon admission to 19 partner universities of the championship.

The student League of the CASE-IN championship will bring together students from Russia and the CIS. The qualifying stages will be held at 57 universities in Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan. Student teams will compete in seven industry areas: geological exploration, mining, metallurgy, oil and gas, petrochemistry, digital atom, and electric power industry.

The Student League was supported by leading companies of the Fuel and energy Complex and MSK, including: JSC SO UES, JSC ALROSA, PJSC NOVATEK, PJSC SIBUR, GC ROSATOM, PJSC FGC UES, PJSC Tatneft, LLC EvrazHolding, LLC Raspadskaya Coal Company, Schlumberger Company, Rosgeologiya JSC, Mycromine Rus LLC, RusHydro PJSC, Siberian Anthracite JSC, IBM Montan LLC, RUSAL OK, Prosoft Systems LLC, Siberian Generating Company LLC,Credo-Dialog, NLMK PJSC, etc.

For the second year in a row, the Digital Atom direction, of which the Rosatom State Corporation is a strategic partner, has been operating within the framework of the CASE-IN championship. Ekaterina Solntseva, Director of Digitalization at Rosatom State Corporation, spoke about the goals and results of the direction: "Engineering specialties are the heart of the nuclear industry. And today they are at the cutting edge of high technology. Rosatom's ambitious goals in the field of digitalization require us to pay special attention to the process of training young personnel. Participation in the Digital Atom program of the Case-In championship gives us a great opportunity to find promising engineering staff with strong digital competencies at the very beginning of our careers, promote their professional development and introduce them to the nuclear industry in advance."

The participants of the League of Young Specialists of the CASE-IN championship will be employees of more than 50 leading companies of the fuel and energy complex and the Moscow Energy Complex of Russia, including: PJSC Gazprom, JSC SUEK, LLC Siberian Generating Company, JSC Apatit, PJSC Enel Russia, PJSC SIBUR, LLC Peterburgteploenergo, JSC Mosenergo, PJSC NK Rosneft, LLC UGMK-Holding, LLC Raspadskaya Coal Company, PJSC Tatneft, JSC SO UES, PJSC FGC UES, PJSC Quadra – Generating Company, PJSC ROSSETI, etc.

According to the results of last year's championship, about 30 participants of the Student League received the opportunity for internships and targeted training. As a result, 15 of them were employed by the company. "These young people have taken a serious step towards becoming one of the specialists who will determine the future of Russian industry. We sincerely wish all participants of the championship inspiration, creativity, a thoughtful approach to their tasks and, of course, good luck," said Olga Ulesova, Director of Talent Management at SIBUR, a strategic partner of the School League and the Neftekhimiya branch of the Student League of the championship.
