Krakow, 2013

AGH University of Science and Technology

In 1912 a group of mining engineers

began the initiative to establish the

Academy of Mining.

In 1919 Józef Piłsudski, the

Head of the State, inaugurated

the Academy of Mining.

In 1947 an internal resolution was

passed to change the name to the

Academy of Mining and Metallurgy.
