== History == The European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC) is a non profit organisation with 84 institutes as members from 55 different countries. It has been established in 1975, at the request of the European Seismological Commission (ESC). Given that the European-Mediterranean region is prone to destructive earthquakes, there was a need for a scientific organisation to be in charge of the determination, as quickly as possible (within one hour of the earthquake occurrence), of the characteristics of such earthquakes. Therefore, the EMSC receives seismological data from more than 65 national seismological agencies, mostly in the Euro-Med region. The EMSC became operational on January 1st January 1975, at the Institut de Physique du Globe de Strasbourg. It received its final statutes in 1983. In 1987, EMSC was appointed by the Council of Europe as the organisation to provide the European Alert System under the Open Partial Agreement (OPA) on Major Hazards. In 1993, EMSC statutes and organisation were amended. Its headquarters moved to the Laboratoire de Détection et de Géophysique (LDG) within the Département Analyse, Surveillance, Environnement (DASE) of the French Atomic Energy Commission (CEA), in Bruyères-le-Châtel (Essonne, France). As an international, non-governmental and non-profit organisation, this association focuses also on promoting seismological research. This turns into EMSC participation in many European (FP7) and international projects. * EPOS * SIGMA * NERA * VERCE * MARsite * REAKT * RELEMR 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
