Final Presentation held on August 5th and 6th
By Dr. Tatsuya Azuhata, Director of IISEEWe held the final presentation on the individual study for the 2020-2021
regular course over two days from August 5. The final presentation washeld jointly by the three courses of Seismology, Earthquake
Engineering, and Tsunami Disaster Prevention.
Fifteen trainees from ten countries participated in the 2020-2021
course. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the course started remotely,and 12 trainees came to Japan from the middle. Three trainees could
not come to Japan until the end of the period and stayed in their homecountries to do their master's thesis research. The final presentation
was a hybrid of face-to-face and online, and the trainees who could notcome to Japan gave their presentations from their home countries.
All 15 trainees attended the final presentation and presented the resultsof their master's thesis research. I am pleased that all the trainees
completed their master's thesis despite today's difficult circumstances.
Some supervisors for their master's thesis research attended the final
presentation online. I want to express my gratitude to all of them.
