Our challenge is to “reduce the impact of earthquakes and tsunamis on society through Research, Engineering, Science, and Education...”

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
