ICHARM Open Day

Today was ICHARM’s Open Day where we got a visit from high school students.

This year’s program started with a welcome address by Prof. Kuniyoshi Takeuchi, the Director of ICHARM. After this Dr. Yoganath Adikari and Dr. Dinar Istiyanto presented on ‘Water and water-related issues’ and ‘Hazard, Risk and Disaster’ respectively.

The next section called ‘Let’s learn and talk with Foreign researchers, PWRI supported Doctor course students and JICA sponsored Master course students’ featured posters and presenters from the countries Bangladesh, China, Ethiopia, Fiji, Indonesia, the Netherlands, Nepal, Pakistan, the Philippines, Sri Lanka, Tunisia, and Vietnam. During this section I presented a poster on the ‘History and Future of Water Related Disasters in the Netherlands’ together with Babeth Bosma, our visiting bachelor internship student from the Netherlands.

Prof. Amithirigala Jayawardena closed the day, after which a commemorative photo was taken.
