CAEVR is the official acronym for the Council for Advancing Earthquake and Volcano Research. This council is organized to promote “The Earthquake and Volcano Hazards Observation and Research Program”.
“The Earthquake and Volcano Hazards Observation and Research Program” is one of the national scientific research programs that are authorized by the Council for Science and Technology, Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology. As a successor of the “Observation and Research Program for the Prediction of Earthquakes”, we started a series of this program in 2014 in cooperation with national universities and institutes to understand the mechanism of earthquakes and volcanic eruptions and to contribute to the mitigation of related disasters. To achieve its goal through comprehensive and multidisciplinary approaches, this program includes a variety of research areas such as seismology, volcanology, engineering, humanity, and social sciences. Now we are implementing its third program which started on April 2024.
Member of CAEVR consists of representatives of research universities joining the research program. CAEVR plays an important role to promote collaboration among nationwide researchers. CAEVR includes the Planning Committee, Program Promotion Panels and Financial Committee.
