Dear all IISEE readers
By Dr. Tatsuya Azuhata, Director of IISEE
I hope that you, yourfamily, and your colleagues
have a happy andprosperous new year.
All IISEE staff and all IISEE
training course participantsalready have started thisyear's activity and now
tackle their projects.
The covid-19 have still been
rumpus worldwide. It isseriously affecting the IISEEDr. Tatsuya Azuhata,training also. This year, 15
Director of IISEE
young researchers andengineers are participatingin the One-year Course.
However, four participants remain in their country even now. They aretaking distance lectures from their home country. Now, all participants
start to prepare for their individual study to get their master's degree. I
believe that all of them will acquire fruitful results and reach the goal by
supporting each other despite today's difficult situation.
We had to postpone the most recent short-term courses, namely theGlobal Seismological Observation Course and the Latin American
Earthquake Engineering Course. Currently, we are planning toimplement these courses together with this postponed course and thenext course. If possible, we would like to implement these courses inJapan. Even if travel to Japan is restricted, we will manage to hold thesecourses by using the distance lecture method, etc., this time.
I think that remote conference systems like Zoom have globally becomecommon during the corona-virus crisis. These internet tools enable us tocontact any person worldwide. The IISEE conducted the IISEE webseminar on Tsunami disaster mitigation using this remote system lastDecember. Both current and past IISEE participants attended thisseminar. I think they could obtain the newest knowledge, exchange
information, and communicate with each other during the seminar. It is
the first challenge of the web-seminar for us. We will hold this type ofCall for Papers

IISEE seminar in February for seismology and in March for earthquake
engineering.
We hear that the next One-year Course's target countries are Indonesia,Malaysia, Philippines, Timor-Leste, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Fiji, Tonga, El
Salvador, Colombia, Peru, Algeria, and Ghana. JICA and these countries'organizations will probably distribute the General Information (GI) in
each country in February. If you get the GI, please encourage young
researchers or engineers around you to apply for the next course.
In this Autumn, 17WCEE, which was postponed last year, will be held in
Sendai, Japan. I would be happy to meet you at an international
conference like this 17WCEE. I hope we have such opportunities morethis year.
We would like to ask you for the same support as the last year. Please
send any inquiry or request to iisee@kenken.go.jp.
