100 years of AGH UST

AGH UST is a modern technical university that takes active part in building a society based on knowledge while taking advantage of technologies for the purpose of economic growth and development. The university was established in 1913, and opened in 1919.

The film, made on the occasion of 100 years of AGH UST, presents the history of the university in a cross-sectional way. A dynamically changing sequence of photographs shows the impressive development of AGH UST in view of transformations that took place in the last one hundred years thanks to science and technology – starting from the interwar period, when the Academy was a leader in the field of developing mining and metallurgical industries, until the present time of a modern university that conducts interdisciplinary scientific research and develops innovative technologies.

The video contains unique footage, historical photographs, as well as contemporary film materials. The leitmotif combining all pictures are people of great passion and commitment who created and still create our university – this idea is a result of AGH UST’s several-year image campaign under the name of KNOWLEDGE – PASSION – BOND, being part of the celebrations of 100 years of the university.




The AGH University of Science and Technology, established on 20th October, 1919, until 1949 known as the Academy of Mining, founded after long-lasting endeavours which had started in 1782, the date when the Ore Commission was established, has been continuing the traditions of the Academy of Mining in Kielce (1816-1827), inaugurated by Stanisław Staszic. The university, being a technical school, serves science and industry through educating students, the development of academic staff, as well as research and development. The university cherishes its traditions and educates students to be honest, responsible people both at work and as the members of the society, according to its motto: “Labore creata, labori et scientiae servio” (Created in labour, I serve labour and science).
