Donbas State Technical University


Donbas State Technical University is an institution of higher education in Alchevsk, Ukraine.

History

The Donbas State Technical University was founded on 12 October 1957. At that time, it was called Voroshylovsk Mining-Metallurgical Institute. In 1964, due to the changing of the town's name, the university was renamed to Kommunarsk Mining-Metallurgical Institute. In 1992, it became the Donbas Mining-Metallurgical Institute. By Order No. 622 of the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine of 27 July 2004, Donbas Mining-Metallurgical Institute was renamed Donbas State Technical University.
In November 2014, as a consequence of the war in Donbas, the university was relocated to Lysychansk by the Ukrainian authorities, resulting in a split of the institution. By Order No. 587 of the Ministry of Education and Science on 5 June 2018, the Ukrainian-controlled Donbas State Technical University was abolished and merged with the East Ukrainian National University. Meanwhile, the original campus in Alchevsk, under the control of the Donetsk People's Republic, continued to operate independently.
