On 9 December, students of the Educational and Scientific Institute “Institute of Geology” of Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv visited the State Research and Production Enterprise “State Information Geological Fund of Ukraine” (Geoinform of Ukraine).
During the visit, the Director of “Geoinform of Ukraine”, Pavlo Bovsunivskyi, introduced the students to the heads of departments and provided an overview of the work carried out by each unit of the enterprise.
The students visited the following departments: Mineral Reserves Accounting Department, Subsoil Use Documentation Department, Groundwater Resources Accounting Department, Geological Information Accounting and Storage Department, Geoinformation Technologies Centre, Marketing Department.
They also visited the geological information storage facility.
The excursion offered students valuable hands-on experience, allowing them to connect their theoretical knowledge with a practical understanding of the operations of a leading national geological institution.
Ensuring effective subsoil use in Ukraine during times of war is one of the key priorities of “Geoinform of Ukraine” - a foundation for the country’s economic resilience and future recovery.
We sincerely thank the management and staff of “Geoinform of Ukraine” for an engaging and informative visit, as well as for the opportunity to have warm and lively discussions with experts!
Additionally, as part of the excursion, the students learned about the GSEU - Geological Service for Europe project, in which both the Ukrainian Association of Geologists and “Geoinform of Ukraine” participate.
Addressing large-scale transnational and continental challenges in the field of subsoil use requires cooperation beyond national borders. This is why the creation of a unified Geological Service for Europe is an essential step toward bringing together the scientific community and policymakers. The GSEU aims to provide access to an integrated platform of geological knowledge and analytics to support effective decision-making - uniting the expertise of national geological surveys and marking a new chapter in European geoscientific collaboration.
