                   Ural State Academy of Mining and Geology.

      The Ural State Academy of Mining and Geology was founded by an edict of the
emperor Nikolay the 2 nd as the Ural Mining Institute in 1914. In 1993 the
Institute got the status of the Academy of Mining and Geology. During the
years of its activity the Academy has trained over 46 000 mining engineers
for mining and geological enterprises, scientific research and designing
institutions. About 4000 students study annually at the full-time department
and 1500 students study by correspondence. The Academy has 9 faculties, 38
departments and 6 subsidiaries in other Ural towns. Training of specialists
is performed in 9 fields, 20 specialties and 48 specializations. The Academy can
boast of its unique geological (the village of Sukhoy Log) and geophysical
(the village of Verkhnya Sisert) stations for students' practice and grounds
for geodetical and mining surveying practical training. The Academy houses the Ural
Mining-Geological Educational Complex, consisting of 22 technical schools and a
college of mining-geological type. Scientific research and training of scientific staff
is carried out in the spheres of geology, geochemistry, and geophysics. New
technologies are being developed in the following modern trends: production
technologies, fuel and power engineering, ecology and rational use of natural
resources. Scientific potential of the academy makes it possible to solve problems of
mining-geological industry beginning with prospecting and exploration of
mineral resources and ending with raw materials preparation for the
metallurgical industry. Situated in the center of the Ural mining region,
which is the largest in the world, the academy has contributed greatly to
the development of Russian mineral resources. The scientists and students of
the Academy took an active part in prospecting of a number of mineral
deposits and in the construction of such mining enterprises as "Uralasbest",
"Chelyabinskugol", Severouralskiy bauxite mine and Kachkanarskiy GOK.
The Academy has 25 licenses permitting to carry out different kinds of activities
including: geological surveying, geodetical topography, mining surveying, land-
surveying, blasting, ecological, designing work; engineering-geological surveying,
engineering-ecological prospecting; educational activities; expertise of different
enterprises. Ural Complex Geological Expedition has been founded in cooperation
with the Ural branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences. The Academy houses all –
Russia scientific conference for students, postgraduates, scientific workers and
teachers of mining establishments of higher learning, as well as "The Annual Ural
Mineralogical School".
