ICCROM is pleased to welcome Mr Eisuke Nishikawa, on secondment for the next two years from the Government of Japan.
Mr Nishikawa holds a PhD in Engineering from the Tokyo Institute of Technology. At the Japanese Agency for Cultural Affairs, he is a specialist in seismic reinforcement of cultural buildings for the Architecture and Other Structures Division, Cultural Properties Department.
His knowledge and expertise will be a vital contribution to ICCROM’s work, especially in the area of Disaster Risk Management. The subject is an important component of ICCROM’s existing programme and activities, and will continue to play a central role in the coming years.
ICCROM thanks the Government of Japan for its continued generosity. Japan’s provision of regular secondments has strengthened ICCROM while reinforcing our ties with important Member State.
