2023 Potsdam, Germany
The International Training Courses on ‘Seismology and Seismic Hazard Assessment’ aim at improving the earthquake hazard assessment and risk estimation through training on seismological analysis methods. They provide theoretical fundamentals and practical training in applied seismology, especially for geoscientists and engineers from developing countries. The course 2023 took place in Potsdam, Germany as an world wide open course, arranged for the benefit of participants from earthquake-prone developing countries. The number of participants was limited to about 24, to made the training effective.
Training course: June 21 to July 19, 2023

As a continuation to the online training course realized in 2020, an onsite training course on ‚Seismology and Seismic Hazard Assessment‘, was organizied in Podgorica, Montenegro from October 9 to 28, 2023. This training course was realized in collaboration with EPOS and ORFEUS.
Seismological and engineering institutes, mainly from the Balkan region, were invited to nominate engineers and scientists, who are interested in earthquake seismology, seismological monitoring, instrumental micro-zonation studies, strong ground motion analysis and probabilistic seismic hazard assessment.
