Engaging and Broadening Participation

SCEC envisions a future where California is resilient to earthquakes. We engage a diverse community of scientists and students to develop innovative ways to study and understand earthquake hazards. SCEC fosters collaboration among academia, government, industry, and community-based organizations to translate this knowledge into actions that protect lives and livelihoods. Engaging students, early-career researchers, and broadening participation are key priorities for the Center.

SAVE THE DATES FOR THE NEXT SCEC ANNUAL MEETING

The SCEC Annual Meeting

The SCEC Annual Meeting brings together 400-500 participants worldwide to share breakthroughs, assess progress, and chart a collaborative path for earthquake science. Through plenary sessions, posters, workshops, and field trips, all of the Center activities are presented, analyzed, and woven into a set of priorities for SCEC to pursue in the coming year and beyond.

Participants include SCEC project teams, leadership, advisory groups, and staff, as well as sponsors and partners who fund Center activities. Researchers working on topics relevant to SCEC priorities and initiatives are encouraged to engage with SCEC at the annual meeting.

VIEW LAST YEAR’S PROGRAM

Early career scientists, graduate students, and undergraduate interns typically make up more than 40% of participants at the annual meetings.

Community Workshops and Trainings

Sustained interactions within the SCEC community and with other communities that interface with the Center are essential for advancing earthquake science and engineering, and preparedness planning. SCEC fosters these interactions through activities such as technical activity groups, workshops, field activities, skills training, and preparedness events.
