IGUP's mission is also to support training at different levels of education. Currently, there are regular classes at IGUP for the graduate and postgraduate study cycles in Geology, Environmental Science and Technology of the FCUP, as well as classes for study cycles at FLUP. IGUP has also collaborated in supporting primary and secondary schools, having regularly received study visits.
Scientific dissemination is another important component of IGUP's mission, providing the main building, the place for holding events and temporary exhibitions.
