NHERI-NIED/E-Defense upcoming research planning meeting #2

[announce at designsafe-ci.org]

Colleagues,

We have received funding for up to 10 participants to the next meeting
scheduled on Feb 7-8, 2019 in Kobe, Japan.

It will be held in conjunction with the test of the wood structure at
E-Defense of the Tokyo Metropolitan Project. See details at
https://www.designsafe-ci.org/facilities/nco/partnerships/nied/ in the
report of the first meeting of July 2017 and presentations.

Prof. Nagae, lead researcher for this test, will be participating as well
as his collaborators, including Prof. Koliou's research team from the USA.
The test is scheduled during the first day of the meeting. Currently an
agenda for the meeting is being developed with our partners from Japan.

The funding from NSF to support US participants came with some parameters.
Priority will be given to individuals who have submitted and are working on
submitting proposals under this collaboration. Also, several spots will
be reserved for early career faculty and researchers from underrepresented
groups. If PIs already have an award that uses E-Defense, they cannot not
be supported for travel through this funding.

Please let us know by *January 10* via e-mail to ramirez at purdue.edu, if you
have submitted or are working on a proposal under this collaboration, are
interested in attending, and would seek support to travel.

Thanks!

Julio
