Organizers: Nicolas Luco and Paul Somerville (Seismic Hazard and Risk Analysis Focus Group)
Date: September 7, 2008
Location: Horizon Ballroom 2, Hilton Palm Springs Resort

Description: This ½-day workshop, immediately preceding the SCEC Annual Meeting, offers engineers and scientists an opportunity to focus plans for future collaborative activities related to earthquake engineering and science. The question central to the workshop is: How should SCEC collaborate with the earthquake engineering community? Interested earthquake engineers and scientists are invited to provide recommendations for future research activities through discussions of 1) current collaborative activities supported by SCEC, and 2) relevant activities and needs of the earthquake engineering community. Representatives from the earthquake engineering community (e.g. ASCE 7, ATC, BSSC, CUREE, EERI, LATBSDC, MAE, MCEER, NEES, PEER) and SCEC scientists will provide brief summaries to stimulate discussions. The workshop proceedings and recommendations will be used to plan future SCEC research directions.
