Unique example of a partnership between a university centre and a governmental organization, the QGC groups the scientists form INRS Centre Eau Terre Environnement (INRS-ETE) and from the Quebec division of the Geological Survey of Canada (GSC-Quebec). 

Researchers at QGC focus their activities towards pertinent socio-economic issues by increasing the knowledge related to regional geology, georesources (groundwater, minerals and fossil fuels) and environmental geoscience (natural hazards, environmental geodynamics, characterization and restoration of contaminated sites, climate change).

GSC-Quebec and INRS-ETE intend that their collaboration be a centre of convergence and excellence in the geosciences, open to all, while promoting collaboration of the governments, agencies and universities of Eastern Canada.

INRS-ETE, in conjuction with the Geology department from Laval University, offers interuniversity programs of graduate studies in Earth sciences.

As part of its ongoing commitment to promote public interest in the geoscience and contribute to the training of future geoscientists, the QGC produces outreach materials and organizes special events designed to raise students' interest in science.
