The CASITA project aimed at institutionalizing graduate and postgraduate courses on the application of modern  IT&C  tools  in  curricula  at  university  level.  The  target  group  consisted  of  primarily  of  faculty members  of  the  respective  universities  but  eventually  will  consist  of  urban  planners,  geographers  and other professionals knowledgeable of modern disaster mitigation tools. The main objectives of CASITA 2 were to promote research and develop a postgraduate program in the field of GIS/RS applications in natural  hazard  and  risk  assessment  in  several  universities  in  Asia  and  to  develop  a  distance  education course  at  ADPC  to  help  practitioners  aspiring  to  advance  the  knowledge  and  skills  in  application  of modern disaster mitigation tools and to advocate for increased collaboration between European and Asian academic institutions for joint academic programs, courses and distance education using modern IT&C techniques.
