History

• The Jiaozuo School of Railroad and Mines (焦作路矿学堂), the earliest institution of higher mining education in China, was founded in 1909 in Jiaozuo, Henan province, by the British Pekin Syndicate, which held mining rights in the region.焦作路矿学堂是中国最早的矿业高等学府，1909 年由在此地拥有矿权的英国福公司在河南省焦作创办。

• In 1931 the school was renamed the Private Jiaozuo Institute of Technology, marking its transition from a company training school into a private engineering college.1931 年，学堂改称私立焦作工学院，标志其由公司所办的技术学堂转变为私立工科院校。

• After the outbreak of the war with Japan, the institute moved west to Chenggu in Shaanxi in 1938 and joined the engineering colleges of Northeastern University, Beiping University and Beiyang University to form the National Northwestern Institute of Technology.抗战爆发后，学院于 1938 年西迁陕西城固，与东北大学工学院、北平大学工学院、北洋大学工学院联合组建国立西北工学院。

• Following the end of the war the institute returned to its original Jiaozuo site in September 1949, and in December of that year it was placed under the Central Ministry of Fuel Industry.抗战胜利后学院几经辗转，于 1949 年 9 月迁回焦作原址；同年 12 月，焦作工学院划归中央燃料工业部领导。

• In March 1950 the institution was renamed the China Institute of Mining and Technology, and Chen Yu, then Minister of Fuel Industry, became its first president.1950 年 3 月，学校更名为中国矿业学院，时任燃料工业部部长陈郁出任第一任院长。

• In April 1951 the institute moved from Jiaozuo to Tianjin to teach, a relocation that placed it near China's northern industrial centres.1951 年 4 月，学院由焦作迁往天津办学，这次迁校使学校靠近中国北方工业中心。

• During the nationwide restructuring of universities in 1952, the mining engineering departments of Tsinghua University, former Beiyang University and the Tangshan Institute of Railroad were merged into the China Institute of Mining and Technology.1952 年全国院系调整中，清华大学、原北洋大学与唐山交通大学的采矿系并入中国矿业学院。

• In 1953 the institute moved to Beijing and was renamed the Beijing Institute of Mining and Technology, becoming one of the celebrated Eight Colleges along Xueyuan Road, and in 1960 it was designated a national key university.1953 年学校迁至北京，改称北京矿业学院，成为北京学院路著名的「八大学院」之一；1960 年被确定为全国重点高校。

• In 1970 the institute was moved to Sanhuiba in Hechuan county, Sichuan province, and renamed the Sichuan Institute of Mining and Technology, an upheaval that scattered much of its teaching staff.1970 年学校迁至四川省合川县三汇坝，改称四川矿业学院，这次动荡使大批师资流散。

• In 1978 the institute began moving to Xuzhou in Jiangsu province and restored the name China Institute of Mining and Technology, and it was again named one of the eighty-eight national key universities while its Beijing graduate division was founded in the same year.1978 年学校开始迁往江苏省徐州办学，恢复中国矿业学院校名，并再次被确定为全国 88 所重点高校之一；同年，北京研究生部成立。

• In 1988 the state education commission approved a further renaming to China University of Mining and Technology, and Deng Xiaoping personally wrote the new name of the university.1988 年经原国家教委批准，学校正式更名为中国矿业大学，邓小平亲笔题写了校名。

• In 1997 the university entered the national 211 Project as a key construction institution, and the China University of Mining and Technology Beijing campus was approved in the same year under Beijing's higher education register.1997 年学校成为国家「211 工程」重点建设高校，同年中国矿业大学北京校区获批成立，纳入北京市高等学校管理序列。

• In February 2000 the university was transferred from the coal industry administration to the Ministry of Education and became one of the state universities directly supervised by the ministry.2000 年，学校由煤炭工业管理部门整体划转教育部直属管理，成为教育部直属高校之一。

• In 2003 the Beijing campus was separated from the Xuzhou institution as the China University of Mining and Technology, Beijing, so that the two became independent teaching entities.2003 年，中国矿业大学北京校区从徐州本部独立出去，命名为中国矿业大学（北京），两校自此成为相互独立的办学实体。

• In October 2009, on the university's centenary, Hu Jintao sent a letter of congratulation and Wen Jiabao wrote a comment, on the occasion when the Xuzhou and Beijing institutions formally became separate entities.2009 年 10 月百年校庆之际，胡锦涛发来贺信、温家宝作出批示；正是此时，徐州与北京两地学校正式「分家」为各自独立的办学实体。

• In 2019 the university signed a comprehensive cooperation agreement with the Xuzhou municipal government and deepened its partnership with Xuzhou First People's Hospital as its affiliated hospital, and seventeen of its programmes entered the national first-class undergraduate construction plan.2019 年学校与徐州市人民政府签订全面合作协议，并与徐州市第一人民医院深化合作成立附属医院；同年 17 个专业入选国家级一流本科专业建设「双万计划」。

• In 2022 the university became a jointly built institution of the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Emergency Management and the Jiangsu Provincial People's Government, by which time its history spanned 117 years, fourteen relocations and twelve renamings.2022 年，学校成为教育部、应急管理部与江苏省人民政府共建高校；至此，其校史已历经 117 年、14 次搬迁、12 次易名。
