Kunming University of Science and Technology(KUST), located in Kunming, Yunnan Province, southwest of China, was founded on the 4th of September, 1954. KUST has become a comprehensive, engineering-orientated university that combines theory with application and coordinates multiple disciplines. As one of the key universities in Yunnan province, KUST plays an important role in the field of the non-ferrous metals industry in China and makes major contributions to regional, economic, and social development.

Based on its distinctive disciplines and unique location, KUST keeps strengthening international cooperation and communication. As of now, it has signed cooperation agreements with 110 colleges, universities, and research institutions in 36 countries and regions and built a Confucius Institute with Souphanouvong University in Laos. It is the leading university in the cooperation between universities in Yunnan province and Thailand and has set up 3 colleges in Thailand. It is listed as the new base for the Programme of Introducing Talents of Discipline to Universities. The foreign experts in KUST have won the International Science and Technology Cooperation Award and the Friendship Award issued by the Chinese government. Now it has played a unique and important role in cultivating engineers and talented managers, and offering international technical transfer for neighbouring countries, as well as establishing high-level cooperation on research and communication between teachers and students with developed countries.

昆明理工大学创建于1954年9月1日，时名“昆明工学院”，1995年更名为“昆明理工大学”，1999年原昆明理工大学与原云南工业大学合并组建新的昆明理工大学。学校先后隶属原高等教育部、原冶金工业部、原中国有色金属工业总公司管理，现有呈贡、莲华、新迎、嵩明四个校区，占地3915亩（不含嵩明校区），主校区为呈贡校区，位于昆明市呈贡大学城。

经过70年的发展，学校现已成为一所以工为主，理工结合，行业特色、区域特色鲜明，多学科协调发展的综合性大学，是云南省规模最大、办学层次和类别齐全的重点大学，在中国有色金属行业和区域经济社会发展中发挥着重要作用。涌现了一大批享誉全国乃至世界的科技创新人才和重要科技成果，其中屈维德教授首创“冲击消震原理”，应用于我国第一颗人造地球卫星的研制；李梦庚教授发明的“粗锡电热连续结晶机除铅铋工艺及设备”，被西方冶金界誉为“20世纪锡冶金最伟大的发明”，与戴永年教授发明的“焊锡真空分离铅锡技术”联合构成了现代火法锡精炼技术，推广至全球炼锡厂；刘北辰教授发明了世界首座倒张拱钢索桥。同时，学校发明的“内热式多级连续真空蒸馏金属分离技术”世界领先，“大型化、连续化、自动化微波冶金反应装置”实现万吨级成套装备自主创新，“顶吹熔炼-闪速熔炼-自热熔炼三炉系联动的镍冶炼创新技术体系”属世界首创，复杂锡合金真空蒸馏新技术和新装备将世界锡精炼水平发展到新高度，贵金属合金真空气化分离关键技术构建了新一代绿色高效提炼贵金属技术，灵长类靶向基因编辑技术被评价为人类疾病模型研究的里程碑性工作……，为国家乃至世界科技进步作出了重要贡献。
