An international seminar with Armenian and Chinese specialists and the ambassadors of both countries opened in Gyumri. The institute and the Institute of Geophysics of the China Earthquake Administration are building a joint network of geophysical and geodynamic monitoring stations, with a data centre at the institute.
Cooperation began in 2018 and led to the international laboratory for earthquake monitoring and modelling in Gyumri. Site surveys for eight stations were completed in 2019. Director Jon Karapetyan called Armenia and China “laboratories under the open sky” for seismic forecasting.
