The 20th International Course on Aseismic Design and Construction CADAC/2001 was successfully accomplished at the Institute of Earthquake Engineering and Engineering Seismology, University "Ss. Cyril and Methodius", Skopje. The Course lasted 12 weeks and was attended by participants from developing countries. It was realized within the framework of the scientific-technical cooperation between the Royal Netherlands and the Government of Republic of Macedonia.
The Course was attended by 18 candidates from developing countries (see the enclosed list). The analysis of the initial and the final questionnaires filled out by the participants upon their arrival and departure proved successful achievement of the main goal of the Course. The results were satisfying, which was evident particularly after the final test, which was successfully passed by all the participants. It should be noted that, this year, the candidates showed a particular interest in passing the examinations (they were given the opportunity to pass examinations according to their own wish). A total of 16 examinations were passed.
Finally, it should be noted that it is a particular honor and pleasure to organize such an international course, which has arounsed a worldwide interest. |
