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. Kelly Kibler presented on ‘Water-related disaster in the United States of America:  The Colorado Floods of 2013’ and PhD student Robin Kumar Biswas presented on ‘Bangladesh and Water Related Disasters in Bangladesh’.

The next section called ‘Let’s learn and talk with foreign researchers’ featured posters and presenters from the countries the Netherlands, Guatemala, China, El Salvasor, Kenya, Myanmar, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, the Philippines, and Venezuela. As last year, during this section I presented a poster on the ‘History and Future of Water Related Disasters in the Netherlands’.


Prof. Shinji Egashira closed the day, after which a commemorative photo was taken.
