Future of Interdisciplinary Research

地震工程研究所将召集一组研究人员，考虑多学科和跨学科研究在应对极端自然、技术和人为风险带来的社会挑战方面所发挥的作用。这些研究人员将通过万维网起草一份白皮书，供更广泛的地震工程和灾害社区审查。在通过邀请研讨会收集进一步意见后，将编写一份最终白皮书，其中包括旨在确保复杂的多学科危害问题得到具有技能和专业知识的研究人员的关注，使社会能够以最大限度地减少破坏和损失的方式做好准备并从未来的极端事件中恢复过来。

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.
