AGH-UST, established on 20th October 1919, until 1949 known as the Academy of Mining, founded after long-lasting endeavours which had started in 1782, the year 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 the science and industry through educating students, the development of academic staff, as well as research and development. The University cherishes its traditions and educates its students to be honest and responsible people both at work, and as members of the society, according to its motto: "Labore creata, labori et scientiae servio"​ (Created in labour, I serve labour and science.)
