], CDUT has invited Nobel Prize laureates and a large number of world-renowned experts and scholars to give lectures.

The university recruits foreign experts to set up courses for undergraduates and postgraduate students on a regular basis and bring them into the talent training system.

[16][17] CDUT is one of a limited number of universities with both first-level and second-level national key disciplines in China.

Students from the United States, Australia, Germany, Austria, Korea, Japan, Russia and other countries have studied at CDUT in different fields.

Among these treasures, the 22 meter long Mamenchisaurus hochuanensis, the world's longest-necked Jurassic dinosaur's fossil, is the highlight of the museum.

The new landmark CDUT Museum, connected with the Shilidian Station of Chengdu Metro Line 8, opened in September 2022.

The university participates in the key national projects including west-to-east power transmission, west–east gas transmission, south-to-north water diversion, Sichuan-Tibet railway, oil and gas geological exploration, energy development, large-scale hydropower station, regional and urban environment protection, as well as other national large-scale transportation infrastructure projects.

Including 9 doctoral programs: 'Mineralogy, Petrology, Mineralogy', 'Paleontology and Stratigraphy', 'Structural Geology', 'Sedimentology', 'Mineral Survey and Exploration', 'Earth Exploration and Information Technology', 'Applied Geophysics', 'Oil and Gas Field Development Geology', 'Oil and Gas Field Development Engineering'.

[23] The State Key Laboratory of Geo-hazard Prevention and Geo-environment Protection (SKLGP) was established on the basis of the College of Environment and Civil Engineering of CDUT and the National Key Specialty Lab of Geological Engineering of CDUT (funded by the Ministry of Education of China).

The SKLGP provides master and doctoral degree programs and runs a postdoctoral research station.

Based on the national key discipline of Geological Engineering at CDUT, the SKLGP has been taking advantage of the strong geoscience strength and conducting frontier scientific research.

The scientific research involves many fields, including geological environmental protection and geological disaster prevention, water conservancy and hydropower development, highway, railway and airport construction, subway and high-rise building development, etc.

Additionally, the laboratory has published more than 105 monographs & teaching materials and more than 5,000 papers both domestically and internationally, and obtained nearly 500 authorized invention patents.

The SKLGP initiated and led the establishment of the International Research Association on Large Landslides (iRALL) in 2013.

SKLGP has established long-term and stable academic relationships with the universities and research institutions from US, UK, Netherlands, Italy, France, Japan, South Africa, Hong Kong, Taiwan, etc.
