Welcome!  We are a not-for-profit Foundation formed and sponsored by the mining and exploration industry in SE Europe.  The Foundation is a reflection of our commitment to contribute to the education of geoscientists in the region so that our industry may better serve our communities. 

The purpose of the Foundation is to enhance education and research in the geological sciences in SE Europe.  The geosciences are a broad field of study having impact on our daily lives.  It is the study of many aspects of the environment in which we live and work and the mineral resources we remove from the earth
