3rd MECHS Workshop: Travel Request App Deadline: Dec 8

[announce at designsafe-ci.org]

Dear Colleagues:



The 3rd workshop for the MECHS community will be held March 16-17th, 2019,
from Monday morning to Tuesday afternoon. It will be held in Cali,
Colombia, hosted by Profs. Johannio Marulanda and Peter Thomson of the
Universidad del Valle. The overarching objective this year will be to focus
on major accomplishments with the aim to broaden the set of users able to
exploit new capabilities. We will also be interacting with the growing
group of researchers in Colombia and across Latin America, that are
interested in utilizing hybrid simulation methods for cyber physical
experimentation.



*Travel** grants are available for ~20 participants who wish to actively
participate in the workshop. *We would like to extend an invitation to all
to submit your request at this time. Travel grants are dedicated to faculty
and researchers residing in the USA. We especially encourage early career
faculty interested in hybrid simulation to apply. A portion of these grants
will be set aside for PhD students who apply.



*To submit your request, please use the link provided below to submit
the request form. Requests are due by December 8, 2018*, and decisions
will be made by December 15th. At the bottom of the form you may indicate
that you would like your response emailed to yourself. If you have
any questions, please feel free to email me using: mechs at purdue.edu

*Vision for MECHS: The MECHS Research Coordination Network aims to
facilitate the scientific advances needed to establish the theory of and
expand the capacity for hybrid simulation as it applies to multi-hazard
engineering.*

Note that the 1st MECHS Workshop *"Breaking Barriers and Building Capacity*"
was held on December 12-13, 2017 at the University of California, San
Diego; and the Joint ETH/MECHS Workshop (2nd) “*New Frontiers and
Innovative Methods for Hybrid Simulation*” was held on March 13-15 at ETH
in Zurich, Switzerland. A major outcome of those workshops was the
development of a Research Agenda on Hybrid Simulation, which is posted on
the MECHS website.



Please let me know if you have any questions.
