Future of Interdisciplinary Research

总结地震工程研究所将召集一个研究小组，考虑多学科和跨学科研究如何在应对极端自然、技术和人类造成的风险带来的社会挑战方面发挥作用。这些研究人员将起草一份白皮书，供更广泛的地震工程和灾害社区通过万维网进行审查。在通过邀请讲习班收集进一步意见之后，将编写一份最终白皮书，其中包括旨在确保具有技能和专业知识的研究人员关注复杂的多学科危害问题的建议，使社会能够以最大限度地减少干扰和损失的方式为未来的极端事件做好准备并从中恢复。

SUMMARYThe Earthquake Engineering Research Institute will convene a team of researchers to consider the way in which multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary research has played a role in addressing societal challenges posed by extreme natural, technological, and human caused risks. These researchers will draft a White Paper for review by the broader earthquake engineering and hazards communities via the World Wide Web. Following further input gathered through an invitational Workshop, a final White Paper will be produced that includes recommendations designed to ensure that complex, multidisciplinary hazard issues receive attention from researchers with the skills and expertise to enable society to prepare for and recovery from future extreme events in a manner that minimizes disruption and loss.
