International Conference associated to the 50th Anniversary of Establishment of theResearch Center of Astronomy and Geophysics, Mongolia and the 50th anniversary ofthe Gobi-Altai earthquake (Mw=8.1) was held in Ulaanbaator on July 24-28, 2007. I (Dr.
T. Yokoi) have participated in the conference and presented the research result with Dr.
S. Margaryan about two sites SPAC method. Besides, I have met six ex-participants(Seismology Course and Global Seismic Observation Course) working with RCAG. It
was very impressive for me that all of them play important roles in their center and had
more than one presentation in the conference. I have met also an ex-participant ofEarthquake Engineering Course who is the key person of Engineering Society in
Mongolia now. A surprise for me was to meet the ex-participant from Georgia(Seismology, 2005-2006) and Iran (Seismology, 1994-1995). The conference was followed
by a ten days field trip to the fault of the 1957 Gobi-Alty earthquake in the Gobi Desert.
Unfortunately, I could not arrange my schedule for this interesting study tour.
