Huazhong University of Science and Technology

Huazhong University of Science and Technology (HUST, Chinese: 华中科技大学), commonly called Huake or Huazhongda, is a public comprehensive research university in Wuhan, capital of Hubei province, China, directly under the Ministry of Education of the People's Republic of China, listed in Project 211 and Project 985 and included in the national Double First-Class construction plan in both 2017 and 2022.华中科技大学(简称华中大或华科大,通称华科)是位于中国湖北省省会武汉市的一所公办综合性研究型大学,直属于中华人民共和国教育部,先后列入 211 工程与 985 工程,并在 2017 年与 2022 年国家“双一流”建设名单中均被纳入。

Its present form dates from 26 May 2000, when three separate institutions were fused: the Huazhong Institute of Technology built in Wuhan in 1953, Tongji Medical University descending from the German Medical School that the physician Erich Paulun founded in Shanghai in 1907, and the Wuhan Urban Construction Institute whose origin was the Central South School of Architecture and Engineering opened at Mount Lu in December 1952.学校的现行形态始于 2000 年 5 月 26 日的三校合并:1953 年在武汉建校的华中工学院、源自德国医生埃里希·宝隆 1907 年在上海创办的德文医学堂的同济医科大学,以及以 1952 年 12 月在江西庐山创立的中南建筑工程学校为源头的武汉城市建设学院。

The merged university is one of the strongest institutions built entirely by the People's Republic itself, and in 2003 Wu Bangguo, then chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress, wrote in a directive that the university is a key school raised up by China on her own strength and a microcosm of the country's higher-education development.这所合并而成的大学是新中国依靠自身力量建设起来的顶尖高校之一,2003 年时任全国人大常委会委员长吴邦国在有关材料上批示,认为华科大是新中国凭借自己力量建起来的重点大学,是中国高等教育发展的缩影。
