*NHERI SimCenter User Workshop*

Registration open, preliminary agenda announced



The 2018 NHERI SimCenter User Workshop will be held *May 18, 2018*, 8AM –
5PM, on the UC Berkeley campus in Sutardja Dai Hall.



The NHERI Computational Modeling and Simulation Center (SimCenter
<https://simcenter.designsafe-ci.org/>) is hosting a one-day User Workshop.
The overall goal of this open invitation workshop is to give community
members the opportunity to interact with the SimCenter leadership and
development teams regarding current and upcoming SimCenter products.
Participants will engage in discussions and have multiple opportunities to
provide feedback on SimCenter tools and the Center’s direction. Workshop
participants will include natural hazards engineering experts, researchers,
and current and future SimCenter users representing a broad user community.

SimCenter personnel will introduce available resources and opportunities.
The agenda will include: presentations of SimCenter aims and scope,
products, work plan, and workflow use cases; small group sessions for
focused interactions; and breakout sessions to determine users’ specific
needs for custom capabilities.  Refreshment breaks and lunch will be
provided.



The intended workshop participants include active NHERI researchers,
long-term end-users including urban planners, public officials, and others
who seek to improve community resilience to natural hazards. Financial
support is available for a limited number of participants for travel and
lodging expenses. Researchers from under-represented groups are especially
encouraged to register and apply for financial support if needed.
