Seventh National Conference on Earthquake Engineering (7NCEE)

该奖项为第七届美国全国地震工程会议7NCEE提供支持，部分承担行政和开发费用，并使更多的人参加地震工程学科研究生会议。该会议是地震工程系列会议中的第七次。此前的会议曾在密歇根州的安娜堡、加利福尼亚州的斯坦福、南卡罗来纳州的查尔斯顿、加利福尼亚州的棕榈泉、伊利诺伊州的芝加哥和华盛顿州的西雅图举行。它们每四年举行一次，在四年一度的世界地震工程会议期间举行。每一次全国会议都是由EERI，地震工程研究所，一个致力于地震工程和减少地震损失的非营利性专业协会赞助的。7NCEE将在马萨诸塞州的波士顿举行，将为地震领域所有学科的研究人员和专业从业人员提供一个机会，聚集在一起，交流影响地震防灾、减灾和恢复有效性的研究成果、设计实践以及组织和政策观点。会议记录提供了宝贵的信息储存库，对地震工程的未来发展至关重要。

This award provides support for the Seventh U.S. National Conference on Earthquake Engineering, 7NCEE by partially underwriting the administrative and development costs, and to make possible increased participation in the conference of graduate students in earthquake engineering disciplines.The Conference is the seventh in a series of national conferences on earthquake engineering. Previous conferences have been held in Ann Arbor, Michigan; Stanford, California; Charleston, South Carolina; Palm Springs, California; Chicago, Illinois, and Seattle, Washington. They are held every four years, midway in time between the dates of the quadrennial World Conferences on Earthquake Engineering. Each of the national conferences has been sponsored by EERI, the Earthquake Engineering Research Institute, a non-profit professional society devoted to earthquake engineering and earthquake loss reduction.The 7NCEE will be held in Boston, Massachusetts and will provide an opportunity for researchers and professional practitioners, in all the disciplines in the earthquake field, to come together and exchange research results, design practices, and organizational and policy perspectives that influence the effectiveness of earthquake preparedness, mitigation, and recovery. The Proceedings provide a valuable repository of information, critical to the future advancement of earthquake engineering.
