Mahidol University has its origins in the establishment of Siriraj Hospital in 1888 by His Majesty King Chulalongkorn (Rama V), and the hospital’s medical school is the oldest institution of higher learning in Thailand, granting its first medical degree in 1893. Later becoming the University of Medical Sciences in 1943, Mahidol University was renamed with great honor in 1969 by H.M. King Bhumibol Adulyadej, after his Royal Father, H.R.H Prince Mahidol of Songkla , who is widely known as the ‘Father of Modern Medicine and Public Health in Thailand‘. Mahidol University has since developed into one of the most prestigious universities in Thailand, internationally known and recognized for the high caliber of research and teaching by its faculty, and its outstanding achievements in teaching, research, international academic collaboration and professional services. This diversified institution now offers top quality programs in numerous social and cultural disciplines, including the most doctoral programs of any institution in Thailand, yet has maintained its traditional excellence in medicine and the sciences.
The Coordinating Committee for Geoscience Programmes in East and Southeast Asia (CCOP) is an intergovernmental organization whose mission is to facilitate and coordinate the implementation of applied geoscience programmes in East and Southeast Asia in order to contribute to economic development and the improvement of the quality of life in the region. To this end, CCOP promotes capacity building, technology transfer, exchange of information and institutional linkages for sustainable resource development, management of geo-information, geo-hazard mitigation and protection of the environment. CCOP has fifteen member countries: Cambodia, China, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Lao PDR, Malaysia, Mongolia, Myanmar, Papua New Guinea, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Timor-Leste and Vietnam. It is supported by fourteen cooperating countries namely Australia, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, The Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Russian Federation, Sweden, United Kingdom and United States of America.

Himpunan Ahli Geofisika Indonesia
Pertemuan ilmiah pertama dilakukan di gedung auditorium Direktorat Geologi, Jl. Diponegoro 57 pada tanggal 9-10 Oktober 1976.Jumlah peserta lebih kurang 200orang yang terdiri dari geofisikawan, fisikawan, geologiawan dan beberapa orang geodesi.Panitia pertemuan ini ialah Panitia pendiri himpunan yang disebut terdahulu. Dalam pertemuan ini di samping presentasi hasil karya juga diadakan rapat untuk mensyahkan himpunan yang akan dibentuk.Kesimpulan rapat para peserta setuju untuk didirikan suatu himpunan atau asosiasi. Soal nama menjadi perdebatan yang lumayan seru. Pada pertemuan itulah diputuskan nama Himpunan Ahli Geofisika Indonesia yang disingkat HAGI sebagai pengganti nama Himpunan Geofisikawan Indonesia yang semula dipersiapkan. HAGI (HIMPUNAN AHLI GEOFISIKA INDONESIA) atau dalam bahasa Inggrisnya ialah INDONESIAN ASSOCIATION OF GEOPHYSICISTS sebagai himpunan profesi dengan A.D. dan A.R.T. dan nama yang sah yang berdiri pada tanggal 9 Oktober 1976.Pertemuan ini juga disahkan sebagai Pertemuah Ilmiah Tahunan (PIT) pertama.Sebagai ketua HAGI pertama secara aklamasi dipilih R. Mugiono, sedangkan sebagai wakil ketua M. Untung.Anggota pengurus lain ialah Bendahara, Neni Srie Utami (sekarang Kepala Badan Penelitian dan Pengembangan Departemen Eksplorasi dan Sumberdaya Mineral, EDM), Sekretaris dan Redaksi, Iwan Tahjuddin Taib.Kantor HAGI berada di sebuah kamar di Direktorat Geologi, Jl. Diponegoro 57. Pada tahun-tahun berikutnya kantor masih berada di Direktorat Geologi sampai suatu saat dipandang perlu untuk berpindah-pindah sesuai dengan domisili pengurus.
The Society of Exploration Geophysicists of Japan (SEGJ) was established in May 1948 with the objectives to promote the science and technology of geophysical exploration as well as to encourage mutual communication among the members.
SEGJ was initially composed of 416 individual members and 18 corporate members. Dr. Kumiji Iida was appointed as the first president. The first issue of the journal” Butsuri-Tanko (Geophysical Exploration)” was published just a month after the establishment. The office of the Society was situated in the Geological Survey of Japan (GSJ) in Kawasaki at first.
The Society has grown with development of geophysical technologies in Japan. The journal was renamed "Butsuri-Tansa" in 1986. The office was moved to Takanawa, Minato-ku, Tokyo in 1979, moved to Nakamagome, Ota-ku, Tokyo in 1987, and then moved to current location in Higashi-kanda, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, in 2006.
Obtaining an approval from the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology（MEXT), SEGJ was reorganized as a general incorporated association in 2001, and then as a public interest incorporated association in 2013. SEGJ has been responsible in promoting exploration activities and information dissemination in public as well. And SEGJ now reinforces the activities for the disaster prevention and control and maintenance of social infrastructure as the public service.
Activating international cooperation, SEGJ currently has association agreement with the Society of Exploration Geophysicists (SEG), the European Association of Geoscientists & Engineers (EAGE), the Australian SEG (ASEG), the Korean SEG (KSEG), the Environmental and Engineering Geophysical Society (EEGS), Vietnam Association of Geophysicists (VAG), the Society of Petroleum Geophysicists China (SPG), and the Indonesian Association of Geophysicists (HAGI). In cooperation with ASEG and KSEG, SEGJ started to publish an English version journal in 2004. Since then, those three societies jointly began to publish a special issue of the journal once a year, and published eight issues. And six issues are now published each year online and some issues include special sections of particular topics.
