Current Status of IISEE Training Courses
By Dr. Tatsuya Azuhata, Director of IISEEAs some of you may know, Japan starts its fiscal year in April. The
last fiscal year had ended, and we have just begun another newyear. At this time of the season, it is also common to havepersonnel changes in organizations. Some staff left IISEE, andsome others joined our team.
The world is still suffering from the COVID-19. Under thiscircumstance, 4 out of 15 participants in the IISEE Training Course
are yet to come to Japan. However, we have managed to finish
most of the curriculum through adopting online lectures with thesupport of the lecturers. The participants are soon to completegroup training and will start concentrating on their individualstudies.
This year the Latin American Course starts in October, and we plan
to conduct online lectures utilizing the Video-On-Demand system.
The application for the next batch of the regular courses startingfrom October had been closed. We have received many
applications from young researchers and engineers from all over
the world.
The new team at IISEE continues our effort to offer training
courses that satisfy the expectations and demands of many young
researchers and engineers worldwide.
