Mining and Metallurgical Institute named after O.A. Baikonurov
The Institute trains specialists with knowledge of modern methods and techniques in the field of mining and metallurgical engineering, mineral extraction, geodesy, surveying, materials science and technology of new materials, chemical processes and industrial ecology. Training is conducted on the basis of foreign approach, the best world practices and recent scientific achievements.
The Institute was founded in 1934 as the Kazakh Mining and Metallurgical Institute and the further history of the Institute is inextricably linked with the history of the development of KazGMI-KazPTI-KazNTU. In 2001, the Mining and Metallurgical faculties were merged into the Mining and Metallurgical Institute, and in 2003, the Mining Institute and the Institute of Metallurgy and Printing were formed. In 2011, the O. A. Baikonurov Mining and Metallurgical Institute(GMI) was established on the basis of the above-mentioned divisions. Currently, the Institute is headed by an academician of the National Academy of Mining Sciences of the Republic of Kazakhstan, Candidate of Technical Sciences, Professor Rysbekov Kanay Bakhytovich.
During the XX and twenty years of the XXI centuries, the mining and metallurgical faculties of the higher educational institution provided the mining and metallurgical industry of Kazakhstan with the best personnel. Among the graduates of the Institute – Laureates of the State Awards of the Republic of Kazakhstan, Halyk Kaharmans, Kazakstannyn Enbek yeri, ministers, deputies of the Senate of the Parliament and the Majilis of the Parliament, akims, presidents of mining companies.
The Mining and Metallurgical Institute (MMI), an integral part of the Kazakh National Research Technical University named after K.I. Satpayev, is responsible for the implementation of higher and postgraduate educational programs. It plays a crucial role in training scientific and pedagogical personnel, conducting research, engaging in international collaborations, and carrying out educational and methodological activities. Holders of the title "Best university teacher-2022", holders of the title "Best University teacher-2023".
The Institute of Metallurgy and Industrial Engineering, established in 2019, was reorganized again in the summer of 2021 into the Mining and Metallurgical Institute, which included the following departments: "Metallurgy and Mineral Processing", "Metallurgical Processes, Heat Engineering and Technology of Special Materials", "Materials Science, Nanotechnology and Engineering Physics" created on the basis of the Department of Engineering Physics", as well as the departments of "Mining" and "Surveying and Geodesy" were transferred from the Institute of Geology, Petroleum and Mining. The Department of Chemical Processes and Industrial Ecology became a part of the МMI on September 1, 2022.
Practical training programs have been designed for every educational program, and contracts have been previously established with enterprises, organizations, and institutions to facilitate the organization of these practical experiences. As part of our collaboration with the industry, we have signed agreements and a Memorandum of Understanding to establish a branch of the Surveying and Geodesy department at «Leica Geosystems Kazakhstan LLP» and «Kazferrosteel LLP».
The Institute organizes its scientific work in accordance with the regulations governing research, development, and technological activities. These regulations aim to support the creation and implementation of scientific, technical, and innovative projects and programs.
In 2022, the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Republic of Kazakhstan honored Dosmukhamedov Nurlan, a Professor in the Department of «Metallurgy and Mineral Processing», with the esteemed "Best Researcher" award. Similarly, in 2023, Moldabaev Serik, the head of the Department of «Mining», received the same recognition.
Rysbekov Kanay, the Director of the Institute, achieved noteworthy success by winning the coveted "Teacher of the Year" award in the National Industry Competition known as the "Golden Hephaestus."
In 2022, Tazhiyev Yeleussiz Bolatovich, a senior lecturer in the Department of Metallurgy and Mineral Processing, received a state scientific scholarship in recognition of his talent and achievements as a young scientist. Likewise, in 2023, Professor Baigenzhenov Omirserik from the Department of «Metallurgical Processes, Heat Engineering, and Technology of Special Materials» received the same recognition.
