Introduce:

The School of Resources and Safety Engineering at Chongqing University originated from the Department of Mining and Metallurgical Engineering established in 1935 at Chongqing University, boasting a long history of academic excellence. The school currently offers two primary disciplines: Mining Engineering and Safety Science and Engineering, as well as four majors: Mining Engineering, Safety Science and Engineering, Intelligent Mining, and Carbon Storage Science and Engineering. Among these, Mining Engineering is recognized as a national key discipline and a national characteristic specialty, while Mining Engineering and Safety Science and Engineering are both designated as national first-class undergraduate majors. The school hosts two post-doctoral research stations in Mining Engineering and Safety Science and Engineering, forming a comprehensive talent cultivation system encompassing bachelor’s, master’s, doctoral, and post-doctoral programs. The school boasts a strong faculty, led by several national-level high-level talents including academicians of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and chief scientists of the 973 Program. It offers superior research conditions with three national-level teaching and research platforms: the State Key Laboratory of Coal Mine Disaster Dynamics and Control, the National-Local Joint Engineering Laboratory for Complex Coal Seam Gas Extraction, and the National Virtual Simulation Experiment Teaching Center for Mine Development and Safety. Guided by national strategic demands, the school has made significant research achievements in various fields such as geology transparency theory and technology, intelligent monitoring and control of mining disasters, unconventional natural gas efficient development and utilization, carbon storage science and engineering, large-scale underground energy storage, and ecological dynamics regulation in mining areas. Mining Engineering is one of the school’s key disciplines. With a focus on the construction of a modern national energy system and energy strategic development under the “dual-carbon” background, the school aims to address major scientific and technological issues in smart and efficient development of “three deep” (deep underground, deep sea, deep space) resources, clean and efficient utilization of energy, carbon storage science and technology, efficient energy storage and safety, and intelligent disaster monitoring, early warning, and prevention. It brings together high-level interdisciplinary talents to undertake major research projects, innovate theoretical and technical systems, enrich the connotation of clean, low-carbon, safe, and efficient modern energy systems, and lead the forefront of mining engineering disciplines. Chongqing University was one of the earliest universities to establish a full-process talent training system for Safety Science and Engineering at the undergraduate, master’s, and doctoral (post-doctoral) levels. Leveraging the advantages of engineering disciplines at Chongqing University, the Safety Science discipline offers specialized directions including Mine Safety Technology and Engineering, Carbon Storage and Energy Storage Safety, Environmental Disaster Control and Risk Management, Chemical Safety Technology and Management, Occupational Safety and Health, and Urban Public Safety. It has gradually formed distinctive characteristics in discipline construction such as mining dynamic disaster monitoring, warning and control, mountainous geological environmental disaster monitoring and warning, engineering structural safety inspection and risk control, hazardous chemicals and environmental disaster control, and urban public safety management. In the future, based on national-level research platforms, the discipline will nurture internationally competitive research teams and high-level talent pools, aiming to build a world-class platform for scientific and technological innovation and international exchange.
