The Gazprom Neft company together with ITMO University announced the start of the open championship for young professionals in the field of artificial intelligence (AI). Participants will have to create digital solutions based on machine learning that can optimize processes in the energy industry. The winners will have the opportunity to intern and work in projects of the IT cluster of the company and its partners.
The championship is aimed at finding innovative approaches to industrial data processing. Participants will have to develop an MVP (minimum viable product) – a test version of a system capable of analyzing complex images from production facilities and identifying critical anomalies.
The competition is divided into three stages:
- Selection and training of AI models – working with unique industrial data.
- Creating an interface – developing a convenient tool for users.
- Practical application – finding ways to implement the system in real production.
Students of 2-4 years and young professionals who have experience in participating in case championships, hackathons or IT Olympiads are invited to participate in the competition. The championship covers different professions:
- Data Scientist (AI/ML specialists)
- Backend Developers (Python)
- UI designers
- DevOps engineers
- System Architects
The championship will be held in hybrid mode:
- Online stage: May 7–21.
- In-person final: May 28 in St. Petersburg
Registration is open until May 4 on the project’s official website.
ITMO is part of the Gazprom Neft League of Universities – an association of 47 Russian and foreign universities, including universities in India and China. The program promotes cooperation between business and science: new laboratories, master’s degrees and grant programs are being created.
The championship is not only a competition, but also a chance for young professionals to prove themselves and start a career in a large IT team.
