Training System and Information Network for Earthquake Disaster Mitigation

Abstract eng:
The International Institute of Seismology and Earthquake Engineering (IISEE) at the Building Research Institute (BRI) was established in 1962 for the purpose of training young seismologists and earthquake engineers from earthquake-prone countries. As of March 2008, 1,332 participants from 95 countries have been trained. Now IISEE has three training courses; the Regular Course (Annual Training), the Individual Course and the Global Seismological Observation Course. Since the 2005-2006 Regular Course, IISEE has started to provide Master Degree; Master of Disaster Mitigation”, to the participants through the cooperation among BRI, the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) and the National Graduate Institute for Policy Studies (GRIPS). Associating with the training program, IISEE launched the Web site; IISEE-net, as an internet-based system designed to disseminate a variety of technical information regarding seismology and earthquake engineering in order to contribute to developing countries’ efforts for earthquake disaster mitigation.
