INSTITUTE OF MINING AND GEOSYSTEMS. A 70-YEAR JOURNEY

Abstract

In 1948, the Mining Faculty (currently the Institute of Mining and Geosystems – IMGS) was opened at the Siberian Metallurgical Institute to train engineering personnel for the operating and under construction mining enterprises of Western Siberia and especially the south of Kuzbass. Its development is inextricably linked with the history of the Siberian Metallurgical Institute. The faculty was based on the departments of Mineral Deposit Development (RAMPI), Geology, and Mining Electromechanics. The first graduation of specialists from the Mining Faculty of the Siberian Metallurgical Institute took place in 1952.
