Our challenge is to “reduce the impact of earthquakes and tsunamis on society through Research, Engineering, Science, and Education...”
Dr. Barbara Cooper, NEES EOT Coordinator
How?Through active communications and collaborative partnerships, NEES will influence research, engineering, and policy.
Through broad and effective education and outreach, NEES will help create the research and engineering leaders of tomorrow.
Dr. Barbara Cooper, NEES EOT Coordinator
Partnerships, communication, and collaboration are keys
NEEShub will allow for improved collaboration and sharing of data, tools, training, and ideas.
Dr. Barbara Cooper, NEES EOT Coordinator
NEEShub provides an advanced Cyberinfrastructure through which more collaborative research can be enabled innovations can be made more readily available to practitioners,
and learning materials are made available to educators and students
Think Network-wide Impact!
Our Challenge in EOT is -– To reach the broadest possible audience – To inform them about earthquake engineering
advancements Ultimately, to save lives
Tours, demonstrations, and summer camps can only reach a fraction of the people we need to reach.
Dr. Barbara Cooper, NEES EOT Coordinator
NEES has five strategic aims– all involve some aspect
of EOT
Build a broad and engaged NEES community
Enable unique and innovative research
Promote knowledge transfer from researcher to community
Develop an excellent workforce through communication, education and training
Raise public awareness of NEES and the life-saving research taking place
Dr. Barbara Cooper, NEES EOT Coordinator
Our mandate for EOT:
Build a broad and engaged NEES community Encourage network-wide collaborations Enable broad use of NEES facilities by the research
community Use the capabilities of NEEShub and NEESAcademy to foster
these collaborations
Enable unique and innovative research Utilize NEEShub to broaden and diversify research innovations
and contributions Provide the media with lots of news releases and direct
marketing efforts to new user communities
Dr. Barbara Cooper, NEES EOT Coordinator
Our mandate for EOT:
Promote knowledge transfer from researcher to community Create news releases – and copy them to NEEScomm Publish papers – and post them on NEEShub
Develop of an excellent workforce through communication, education, and training Share your educational innovations through NEEShub Write proposals for supplemental funding through the REU
program, and other educational funding opportunities Share your ideas through NEESAcademy
Dr. Barbara Cooper, NEES EOT Coordinator
Our mandate for EOT:
Raise public awareness of NEES and the life-saving research taking place Toot your own horn! Cultivate a relationship with the press Take advantage of opportunities to tell the general public who
and what NEES is! Make ‘NEES’ as common a term as ‘NFL’ or ‘NASA’ Make people aware of the uniqueness, importance and value
of NEES
