The 10th International Conference "Subsoil Use in Ukraine: Investment Prospects" took place in Lviv from 6-10 October 2025, serving as the main annual forum for Ukraine's subsoil users.
The event was organized by the State Commission of Ukraine on Mineral Reserves with the support of Derzhgeonadra.
The conference programme focused on sustainable development, international cooperation, the launch of the Reconstruction Fund, synergy between the defense and mining sectors, and the exchange of experience in geological research and mineral deposit evaluation.
A key feature of the conference was the live online broadcast on YouTube, which allowed participants from Ukraine and abroad to join remotely. The event brought together over 325 participants, including scientists, business representatives, and government officials, to discuss the development of subsoil use and investment in Ukraine's mineral resource sector.
Representatives of the Ukrainian Association of Geologists (UAG) delivered two presentations:
- Metalogenic Research in Ukraine (Natalia Cherniyenko)
- International Cooperation and Project Activities of the Ukrainian Association of Geologists (Olena Andreyeva)
The conference once again confirmed its role as the leading annual forum for subsoil users in Ukraine, providing an effective platform for professional dialogue between science, business, and government, and for shaping a shared vision for the sustainable development of the sector.
