The 50th Annual Training on Seismology, Earthquake Engineering and Tsunami Disaster Mitigation
courses started on October 2nd 2009. In this year, we invite 23 participants from 14 countries. As tothe Tsunami Disaster Mitigation course, the target region has been expanded and we invite 5

participants not only from Asia but also from Pacific Region and South America this year. Thesetraining courses will be carried out until September next year in cooperation with GRIPS and JICA.
After getting through the courses with credits required, the master's degree will be awarded to theparticipants. So, we hope all 2009-10 participants will take the master's degree one year later.
