SCEC2025 Meeting Participants
The SCEC Annual Meeting brings together participants from across the U.S. and around the world who are engaged in earthquake-related research, education, and outreach. SCEC project teams present results from work supported by the SCEC Collaboration Plan and other Center initiatives. The meeting includes representatives from SCEC leadership, advisory groups, full-time staff, funding agencies, and sponsors. Academic, government, and industry partners involved in computational science, earthquake engineering, risk communication, and other related disciplines also participate. Early career scientists, graduate students, and undergraduate interns typically comprise over 40% of attendees.
