Completion of group training program in the2019-2020 IISEE regular course and start ofindividual study
By Dr. Tatsuya Azuhata, Director of IISEE

We have completed the group training program in the 2019-2020
IISEE regular course on May 15. In the group training program,the participants select one from seismology, earthquake
engineering, and tsunami disaster mitigation courses and deepen
their basic and advanced knowledge by taking the relating
lectures. Since April, the coronavirus problem has become more
serious here. While the Japanese government requires us
restrictions on going out, we carried out the curriculum by remote
lectures with the lecturer's cooperation. We would like toappreciate them for their kind supports again. Also, I would like to
pay my respects to all participants who took their report subjects,assignments, etc., seriously even in the face of mental stress.
After May 18, we will proceed to the stage of individual study totackle the problem of themself by applying the knowledge andanalysis techniques acquired in the group training. We willcontinue working on the activities of the IISEE so that all
participants can obtain research results that can contribute toearthquake disaster mitigation in their home countries.
