The MOU was signed by Dean of Faculty of Engineering Professor Hidenori Yahiro of Graduate School of Science and Engineering Ehime University and General Secretary and Executive Director of NSET Dr. Amod Mani Dixit in the presence of dignitaries from Nepal and Japan including Hon. Dr. Gangalal Tuladhar and HE Ambassador of Japan to Nepal and high officials of JICA Nepal in a meeting devoted to honour the immense contribution of Prof. Ryuichi Yatabe to Nepal and to mark his forthcoming retirement from Ehime University in March 2017.
This is a formalization of cooperation between NSET and Ehime University started decade back by installing the two accelerometer at NSET premises to monitor the ground shaking during the earthquake with the support of Ehime University. The tangible joint work was conducted just after the 2015 Gorkha earthquake to investigate the liquefaction potential of Kathmandu valley with the financial support from Japan Science and Technology (JST). This very important research work came out with the fruitful findings on the leadership of Prof. Mitsu Okamura from Ehime University and Mr. Surya Narayan Shrestha from NSET.
