The center will be based at the Tashkent branch of the National Research Nuclear University "MEPhI". Its main task is to provide the nuclear industry with qualified personnel to implement Uzbekistan's nuclear energy program.

The center will focus on training, retraining, and advanced training of specialists, conducting scientific research and applied developments, fostering cooperation with leading foreign universities and research organizations, introducing modern educational programs and developing laboratory facilities, as well as organizing international projects, seminars, and exchange programs.
