At the end of the Forum, Prof. YIN Shenghua made a summary speech. He pointed out that this Forum was taken as an opportunity to not only display our achievements in the discipline of mining engineering over the past 70 years and the ideas for future development but also greet the 70th anniversary of USTB with these outstanding successes.

As an important platform for academic exchange and cooperation, the Global Forum of Mining Engineering Deans will continue to expand, open up communication channels between colleges and universities at home and abroad, and deepen cooperation and mutual learning. Therefore, a solid foundation can be laid to further improve the capabilities of research and innovation of USTB' s mining engineering discipline, as well as the level of talent cultivation. On top of that, it can help to build a higher international stage for USTB' s "Double First-class" construction. USTB will work together with experts and scholars from all over the world to seek common development in education, talent cultivation, scientific research, and many other aspects, and create a better future for the discipline of mining engineering.
