To meet this objective, the Centre uses the most powerful tools available, based on an interdisciplinary approach, including the development of new techniques and procedures. Through its activities, the Centre contributes to raising the level of knowledge and education and to applications of results of scientific research.
The Centre produces, processes and disseminates scientific publications, journals, textbooks, etc., provides scientific reviews, expert opinions and advice, consulting and advisory services. In cooperation with universities, it provides Ph.D. studies and education of research scientists. As a part of its activities, the centre promotes international cooperation, including the organization of joint research with foreign partners, exchange of scientists, and scientific information and preparation of joint publications.
