The priority research field of the Center is comprehensive study of safety issues, including issues of industrial, environmental and food security, developing a scientific base for modeling the evolution of complex industrial, natural and social systems and phenomena, creating monitoring tools and systems for predicting and minimizing the consequences of man-made accidents and natural disasters.

In accordance with the Charter and the Development Program, the Center conducts fundamental and applied research in the following areas (main research fields):

• Development of modern research methods and behavioral models of complex natural, man-made and social systems;
• Creation of organic and inorganic materials with optimal structure and properties, bio-and agrochemical preparations, pharmacological means of the new generation;
• Development of scientific and methodological foundations of intellectual monitoring and management of technological, natural and social systems, taking into account the laws of their spatial and temporal transformation and anthropogenic influences.

According to the license and the charter of the PFRC UB RAS, it conducts educational events:

• on the programs for the training of scientific and pedagogical staff at postgraduate studies (7 fields);
• for additional professional programs of professional retraining and advanced training.

Postgraduate education is carried out in accordance with federal state educational standards (FSES) full-time on a budgetary or contractual basis on the basis of:

• Charter of the Center
• licenses for the right to conduct educational events
• certificates of state accreditation

Enrollment in the budget postgraduate study is carried out within the control enrollment figures, i.e. the number of allocated places for admission established by the organizations of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation.

Postgraduate students at Perm Federal Research Center of the Ural Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences are trained in 7 fields (11 specialties) in the areas of physical, mathematical, chemical, biological, technical, medical, geological and mineralogical sciences. Each graduate student is assigned a supervisor and approved an individual work plan. During the term of postgraduate studies, a graduate student must prepare a scientific and qualification work (thesis/dissertation).
