Thread: International Training Course on 'Seismology and Seismic Hazard Assessment' 2018

The GFZ German Research Center for Geosciences, organises annually
International Training Courses on 'Seismology and Seismic Hazard
Assessment'

http://www.gfz-potsdam.de/en/centre/education-and-training/seismology/ .

The training courses provide theoretical fundamentals and practical
training in applied seismology, especially for geoscientists and
engineers from earthquake-prone developing countries. The program is
particularly useful for seismological station and network operators,
data interpreters and those concerned with seismic zoning and hazard
assessment. These postgraduate courses are part of the educational and
training program of the GFZ Potsdam, the Federal Foreign Office of
Germany and UNESCO in the field of geosciences and disaster mitigation.

The 4-week training course 2018 will take place in Accra, Ghana as a
regional course for Africa, from September 10 to October 5 in
cooperation with the Geological Survey of Ghana. We invite young
scientists and engineers to apply to the course. The course circular,
scientific programme and application form for the course 2018 can be
downloaded from our web page. Deadline for application is May 3, 2018.
