The goal of the Research and Educational Center (REC) is to amalgamate research and educational groups have been formed on the basis of University Earth science schools into the scientific and educational center of international level. The REC activity is directed to integration of training highly qualified specialists and solution of fundamental and applied problems such as mineral and energy resources usage to be solved by humanity in the XXI century.

The REC is created for solving the following tasks:

• to concentrate NMU scientific efforts to make advance in fundamental research concerning geological structures, geotechnologies, resources and energy potentials of bowels of the earth as well as environment rehabilitation and remediation in mining areas, to use and develop the University facilities;
• to carry out high-level research up to the world standards by the skilled scientific staff of the REC using its modern up-to-date facilities and close cooperation with the institutions of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine (NASU) as well as other organizations and enterprises, foreign universities and scientific centers;
• to enhance introducing the research results into teaching/learning process by involving highly qualified specialists, forming advanced groups, creating individual educational programs, developing the system of additional and postgraduate education;
• to train students within the REC research plan, to prepare highly qualified educated personnel, to re-train specialists using interdisciplinary scientific achievements;
• to implement the competition system for young scientists support to motivate them to participate conferences and work in research centers, to broaden information capabilities, to stimulate young researchers;
• to develop external links with higher educational institutions and scientific centers, branch institutes and industrial enterprises in Ukraine, Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS), developed countries, which will lead to long-term agreements;
• to originate objects of intellectual property and provide their commercialization and innovative implementation.

That is why the project scientific and educational goal consists in creation of the balanced GTS functioning fundamentals, modern scientific and management strategy in minerals and energy resources use simultaneously keeping sustainability of these systems.

The formulated goal will be achieved by accomplishing scientific and educational tasks of the REC that will unite scientific schools and departments existing in the NMU and corresponding to the project activity directions.
