National Research Irkutsk State Technical University (full name in Russian: Иркутский национальный исследовательский технический университет), formerly Irkutsk State Technical University, is a technical university in Russia.

History

The Specialized Secondary School Irkutsk Mining College was established in 1893, with the principal objective to train mill-diggers for the needs of mining business, and in particular the gold-mining industry.

In 1918 the school was transformed into a Secondary Mining College, and in 1920 it was renamed the Irkutsk Polytechnic College. But the technical school was soon reorganised into the Irkutsk Polytechnic Practical Institute (IrPolPrIn). In August 1923 Irpolprin was reorganized into East Siberian Polytechnic College of regional importance, and later formed the foundation of the Siberian Mining Institute in Irkutsk. The Mining Institute was housed at 3, Lenin Street. S.V. Sergeev, head of the Geological Survey Department of the Soyuzdoloto Board was appointed as its first director; Professor G.V. Kliuchanskiy was appointed as his deputy for educational and scientific work.

Around that time, the Faculty of Workers (rabfak) was opened.

On March 19, 1960, the Mining and Metallurgical Institute was renamed to Polytechnic Institute. It received its designation as a university in 1994 and received its Certificate of Attestation of Educational Institution in 1997 and state accreditation in 1998.

Its scientists made a significant contribution to the economy of the Irkutsk region, East Siberian region, the CIS countries.

On 20 May 2010, IrSTU was named a "National Research University" and approved the program of scientific development in these areas:

  • Highly efficient subsoil technologies
  • Science-intensive, high-efficiency machinery and equipment manufacturing technologies
  • Science intensive life support systems for urban and sparsely populated areas
  • Industry of nanosystems and nanomaterials
