The Resource Economics Research Board is committed to advancing scientific research, technological innovation, and international cooperation in the sustainable development and responsible utilization of natural resources. Its core missions include:

- Advancing Science and Technology: Promoting innovation and progress in technologies related to sustainable development, efficient production, and responsible resource utilization.

- Facilitating Intellectual Exchange: Providing a dynamic platform for meaningful dialogue and cross-disciplinary collaboration among scientists and engineers from academia and industry.

- Strengthening Partnerships: Establishing strategic partnerships with academic institutions, professional associations, and research organizations to enhance mutual learning and long-term collaboration.

- Encouraging International Cooperation: Actively participating in global knowledge exchange and co-hosting high-impact conferences addressing critical challenges in resource management.

- Disseminating Research Findings: Publishing high-quality, peer-reviewed academic journals to promote the global circulation and impact of scientific knowledge.

The Board’s flagship Annual Symposium serves as a premier forum for academic communication and scientific exchange. It is structured around two key components:

- Annual Research Forum: A comprehensive event featuring thematic sessions that encourage in-depth discussion and interdisciplinary exchange.

- Distinguished Lecture Series: Keynote lectures highlighting emerging research frontiers, delivered by internationally recognized scholars.

Through these activities, the symposium fosters innovative thinking, facilitates collaborative research, and provides valuable networking opportunities for participants from both academia and industry.

Research Seminars serve as professional platforms for researchers to share expertise across the full life cycle of natural resources—from development and production to sustainable utilization.

Discussions cover the entire research spectrum, including problem identification, methodological design, and practical implementation. Key themes and agendas are formulated in consultation with leading scholars to ensure focused, productive, and high-impact exchanges.

The Resource Economics Research Board conducts the following strategic initiatives to advance global scientific collaboration and enhance its contributions to international research and technological innovation:

- International Conferences and Symposia: Partner with leading international institutions and organizations to design and implement high-impact conferences and symposia. These events facilitate knowledge exchange, foster cross-border research collaborations, and address emerging challenges in resource economics. Through careful coordination with global partners, we ensure these gatherings serve as catalysts for innovative solutions and scientific advancement.

- Research Exchange Programs: Coordinate bilateral and multilateral research exchanges by organizing visiting scholar programs and hosting international delegations. These programs enable researchers and professionals to conduct collaborative research, share specialized expertise, and develop lasting partnerships across diverse geographical regions and institutional settings. The exchanges promote cultural understanding while advancing scientific knowledge in resource economics and related fields.

Members wishing to organize thematic workshops or establish specialized research groups may submit proposals to the Board for official endorsement.

Approved initiatives receive comprehensive support, including financial assistance, venue arrangements, and administrative coordination, ensuring the effective achievement of academic objectives.
