As the first institution in China with the right to award the master's degree in environmental engineering, Beijing Academy of Environmental Sciences has trained more than 100 graduate students over the years.
Beijing Academy of Environmental Sciences consists of water and ecological environment research institute, air pollution prevention research institute, solid waste pollution prevention research institute, environmental policy and planning standard research institute, environmental engineering design institute, environmental technology consulting research institute and Beijing environmental engineering design institute.
The engineering centers based on Beijing Academy of Environmental Sciences include: National Urban Environmental Pollution Control Engineering Technology Research Center (Ministry of Science and Technology), National Environmental Protection Industrial Wastewater Pollution Control Engineering Technology Center (Beijing) (Ministry of Environment) and Beijing Water Environment Technology and Equipment Research Center (Beijing Science and Technology Commission).
Beijing Environmental Engineering Design Institute, affiliated to Beijing Academy of Environmental Sciences, has Grade A design qualification for municipal drainage engineering, Grade A design qualification for water pollution prevention engineering and Grade B design qualification for solid waste treatment and disposal engineering. Beijing Academy of Environmental Sciences also has the Grade A qualification certificate of national environmental impact assessment engineering consultation, the Grade A qualification of environmental pollution control facilities operation (domestic sewage and industrial wastewater) and the Grade A qualification certificate of engineering consultation issued by the National Development and Reform Commission.
After more than 50 years of development and construction in the environmental protection front, Beijing Academy of Environmental Sciences has made fruitful achievements in technical research, regulation formulation, pollution control engineering design, ecological engineering construction, environmental impact assessment, regional planning and product development. Among them, it won nearly 30 national science and technology awards, 30 provincial (ministerial) science and technology awards/kloc-0, and more than 40 national key environmental protection practical technologies and patents, and won the first and second prizes in the "Reform and Development" appraisal of Beijing scientific research institutes for many times.
Over the years, Beijing Academy of Environmental Sciences has completed a large number of scientific research projects and developed a variety of practical technologies. At the same time, it has undertaken a large number of major and urgently needed research projects to improve the environmental quality of the capital, providing important technical support and services for the environmental decision-making of the state and the Beijing Municipal Government. Up to now, Beijing Academy of Environmental Sciences has completed more than 800 environmental science and technology research projects. In nearly 30 provinces (cities) and autonomous regions (including Hong Kong), more than 1400 governance projects and more than 3,000 environmental impact assessments have been completed.
