The goal of the association is to coordinate scientific research and promote joint work among universities in this area. The organization of the consortium's activities has been entrusted to St. Petersburg State University, headed by St. Petersburg State University Rector Nikolai Mikhailovich Kropachev.

The leadership of St. Petersburg State University thanked PSU Rector A.P. Gorbunov for joining the consortium and noted that PSU's proposals have already been included in the association's draft activity plan for 2026.
