1. Greetings to All Readers
By Dr. Toshiaki Yokoi, Director of IISEE
Dear IISEE Newsletter Readers,
I wish you, your families and colleagues a Happy New Year. May it be a prosperous year, and may we see IISEE carrying the training program forward in 2015, although I am afraid that you read this letter almost February 2015.

2. Eleven Persons from Eight Countries Join the Global Seismological Observation Course from Two Months
By Ms. Yoriko Iiba, Head of IISEE Administration Office
The Opening Ceremony of the Global Seismological Observation Training Course was held at the JICA Tsukuba from 11:30 to 12:00 on Tuesday, January 20 2015. The training participants from China, Egypt (2), Iran, Nepal (2), Pakistan (2), Solomon Islands, and Thailand came to Japan and joined the ceremony. Although a participant from Papua New Guinea was late to come to Japan and could not attend the ceremony, he arrived in Japan at the end of the week and now he joins the course actively.
