The International Institute of Seismology and Earthquake Engineering (IISEE) has carried out
the International Training on Seismology and Earthquake Engineering for researchers andengineers from developing countries. So far, 1,769 participants have completed the training
courses of the IISEE.
The contents of the training are highly appreciated and a large amount of information such as
lecture notes used for the training has been accumulated so far. Such information is considered tobe very useful for earthquake-prone developing countries and its publication can promote thecontribution to prevent and mitigate earthquake disasters in these countries. Therefore, IISEE has
made public the database of the training related information on the Internet.
Database of the earthquake information obtained through the analysis conducted by IISEE has
been also developed and released to the world.

Utsu catalog
Dr. Tokuji Utsu, Professor Emeritus of Tokyo University, compiled a catalog,"Catalog of Damaging Earthquakes in the World," (Utsu, 1990; Utsu, 2002; Utsu,2004).
The IISEE has inherited this catalog and its search page. The catalog that Dr. Utsu
provided to the IISEE has destructive earthquakes up to June, 26, 2002. The IISEE iscontinuously updating the catalog (the current latest event in the database is theearthquake that occurred on November 28 in 2013 in Iran).

IISEE lecture notes
In order to make public the contents of the International Training on Seismology
and Earthquake Engineering and to further promote the contribution to prevent andmitigate earthquake disasters in developing countries, we have opened the “IISEEUNESCO lecture notes” from March 2009 with the cooperation of UNESCO and theJapan International Cooperation Agency (JICA).
Currently, lecture notes on around 66 subjects on Seismology, Earthquake
Engineering, Tsunami, Global Seismological Observation and China Seismic Building
are opened and they are becoming the most informative lecture note series in theworld.
