摘要

The 3rd International Conference on Continental Earthquakes, Mechanism, Prediction, Emergency Management & Insurance (the 3rd ICCE) was held on July 9-14, 2004 in Beijing, China. The ICCE has been held every decade since it was launched over twenty years ago. The first ICCE, with the title "International Symposium on Continental Seismicity and Earthquake Prediction" (ISCSEP), had international sponsorship and was supported by e.g., UNESCO and hosted by the Seismological Society of China (SSC) in Beijing in 1982. In 1992 in response to the initiatives from the UN's International Decade for Natural Disaster Reduction (IDNDR), the State Seismological Bureau of China (SSB), in cooperation with the UN/IDNDR Secretariat, IASPEI, National Natural Science Foundation of China (NNSFC), the Seismological Society of China, and China Disaster Prevention Association, hosted the Second International Conference on Continental Earthquakes (ICCE) in Beijing.
