Kunming University of Science and Technology(KUST), located in
Kunming, Yunnan Province, southwest of China, was founded on the
4th of September, 1954. KUST has become a comprehensive,
engineering-orientated university that combines theory with
application and coordinates multiple disciplines. As one of the
key universities in Yunnan province, KUST plays an important
role in the field of the non-ferrous metals industry in China
and makes major contributions to regional, economic, and social
development.
Several subjects of KUST were listed in the top 1% in ESI,
including Engineering, Material Science, Chemistry,Environment/Ecology,
Botany and Zoology, Agricultural Science, Clinical Medicine.
KUST has 1 academic division, 28 faculties, 7 research
institutes, 14 clinical teaching bases (including 10 affiliated
hospitals, 3 teaching hospitals, and 1 hospitals for
internships), 3 bases for applied talent-training, and graduate
schools. Furthermore, KUST has 4,103 staff members, including
2,850 full-time lecturers and 1,827 professors and associate
professors. 127 people are granted national talent titles, such
as “academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Chinese
Academy of Engineering”, “Changjiang scholar”, and
“Distinguished Young Scholar”. 921 people own other provincial-
and ministerial-level talent titles, such as “leading talent of
science and technology in Yunnan Province” and “Yunling
Scholar”. Currently, KUST is home to more than 53,000 students
(including 583 overseas students), and among them, there are
32,923 undergraduate students (including 198 overseas students),
and 19,354 graduate students (including 385 overseas students).
昆明理工大学创建于1954年9月1日，时名“昆明工学院”，1995年更名为“昆明理工大学”，1999年原昆明理工大学与原云南工业大学合并组建新的昆明理工大学。学校先后隶属原高等教育部、原冶金工业部、原中国有色金属工业总公司管理，学校现已建成呈贡、莲华、新迎三个校区，正在全力推进嵩明新校区建设，总占地面积5418亩，主校区为呈贡校区，位于昆明市呈贡大学城。
经过70年的发展，学校现已成为一所以工为主，理工结合，行业特色、区域特色鲜明，多学科协调发展的综合性大学，是云南省规模最大、办学层次和类别齐全的重点大学，在中国有色金属行业和区域经济社会发展中发挥着重要作用。涌现了一大批享誉全国乃至世界的科技创新人才和重要科技成果，其中屈维德教授首创“冲击消震原理”，应用于我国第一颗人造地球卫星的研制；李梦庚教授发明的“粗锡电热连续结晶机除铅铋工艺及设备”，被西方冶金界誉为“20世纪锡冶金最伟大的发明”，与戴永年教授发明的“焊锡真空分离铅锡技术”联合构成了现代火法锡精炼技术，推广至全球炼锡厂；刘北辰教授发明了世界首座倒张拱钢索桥。同时，学校发明的“内热式多级连续真空蒸馏金属分离技术”世界领先，“大型化、连续化、自动化微波冶金反应装置”实现万吨级成套装备自主创新，“顶吹熔炼-闪速熔炼-自热熔炼三炉系联动的镍冶炼创新技术体系”属世界首创，复杂锡合金真空蒸馏新技术和新装备将世界锡精炼水平发展到新高度，贵金属合金真空气化分离关键技术构建了新一代绿色高效提炼贵金属技术，灵长类靶向基因编辑技术被评价为人类疾病模型研究的里程碑性工作……，为国家乃至世界科技进步作出了重要贡献。
