The program is particularly useful for seismological station and network operators, data interpreters and those concerned with seismic zoning and hazard assessment. These postgraduate crash courses are part of the educational and training program of the UNESCO in the field of geosciences and disaster mitigation. The 5-week course will take place at OVSICORI (http://www.ovsicori.una.ac.cr/), which belongs to the Universidad Nacional (UNA, Heredia, Costa Rica). We especially encourage applications from young geoscientists and engineers from countries in Central and Southern America. Course fees and accommodation will be fully covered by our sponsors. Additional fellowships to cover travel costs are available to selected candidates.
