Almaty Technological University

Almaty Technological University, legally the Joint Stock Company "Almaty Technological University" and abbreviated ATU, is a private university of applied sciences in Almaty, Kazakhstan, focused on the food, processing, textile and light industries together with engineering and information technology, economics and business, tourism, service and hospitality.阿拉木图理工大学（法定名称为股份公司「Almaty Technological University」，简称 ATU）是哈萨克斯坦阿拉木图的一所私立应用技术型高校，主攻食品、加工、纺织与轻工业，兼及工程与信息技术、经济与商业、旅游、服务与酒店业。

History

• The institution was created in 1957 by orders No. 155/548 of the Ministry of Food Industry of the Soviet Union and the Ministry of Higher Education of the USSR, which turned the Alma-Ata branch of the Institute for the Improvement of Managers and Engineers into the Alma-Ata branch of the All-Union Correspondence Institute of Food Industry.学校于 1957 年由苏联食品工业部与苏联高等教育部第 155/548 号命令设立，把「管理者与工程师进修学院」的阿拉木图分支改为全苏食品工业函授学院的阿拉木图分支。

• That founding purpose was correspondence, or part-time, training of food-industry engineers for a republic whose bakeries, confectioneries and meat-processing plants were expanding faster than its supply of qualified technologists.建校初衷是以函授即在职方式培养食品工业工程师，因为当时共和国各地的面包厂、糖果厂与肉类加工厂的扩张速度已超过合格技术人员的供给。

• In 1966 the branch passed to the government of the Kazakh SSR and, by Order No. 1501 of the Council of Ministers of the RSFSR and Order No. 1365-r of the Council of Ministers of the Kazakh SSR, became the Alma-Ata branch of the Dzhambul Technological Institute of Light and Food Industry.1966 年该分支移交哈萨克苏维埃社会主义共和国政府管辖，并据俄罗斯苏维埃联邦社会主义共和国部长会议第 1501 号命令与哈萨克苏维埃社会主义共和国部长会议第 1365-r 号命令，改为江布尔轻工业与食品工业技术学院的阿拉木图分支。

• The economics side of the institution arrived on 10 July 1995, when the Faculty of Economics and Management was created out of the same branch by order of its director, acting on Order No. 155 of the Ministry of Education and Science dated 15 June 1995.其经济学科于 1995 年 7 月 10 日进入建制：依共和国教育与科学部 1995 年 6 月 15 日第 155 号命令，院长下令在该分支内设立经济与管理系。

• On 7 May 1996 the Government of the Republic of Kazakhstan adopted Resolution No. 573, reorganising the Alma-Ata branch of the Dzhambul institute into the Almaty Technological Institute, the first time the institution carried Almaty in its own name.1996 年 5 月 7 日，哈萨克斯坦共和国政府第 573 号决议把江布尔学院的阿拉木图分支重组为阿拉木图技术学院，这是校名中首次出现阿拉木图这一地名。

• A further government resolution, No. 1192 of 18 August 1999, turned the Almaty Institute of Technology into a non-profit private organisation with the legal status of a closed joint stock company named Almaty Technological University.政府第 1192 号决议又于 1999 年 8 月 18 日把阿拉木图技术学院改组为非营利私立机构，法律形态为封闭式股份公司，名称定为阿拉木图理工大学。

• Under the Law on Joint-Stock Companies No. 415-P of 12 May 2003, the general meeting of shareholders re-registered the closed company as the joint stock company Almaty Technological University, confirmed by state re-registration certificate No. 28264-1910-AO of 26 December 2003.依 2003 年 5 月 12 日第 415-P 号《股份公司法》，股东大会把封闭式公司重新登记为股份公司阿拉木图理工大学，并以 2003 年 12 月 26 日第 28264-1910-AO 号国家重新登记证书确认。
