The 13th U.S. National Conference on Earthquake Engineering (13NCEE) will bring together researchers and practitioners to share new knowledge and technical innovations that help us to understand and mitigate the damaging effects of earthquakes and tsunamis. At the conference, professionals from the full spectrum of the earthquake community will gather to discuss and debate new research, advancements in practice, and questions around seismic hazards and public policy that have emerged in the last four years.
The Earthquake Engineering Research Institute (EERI) is organising this conference in Portland, Oregon—a region with significant hazard from the Cascadia Subduction Zone as well as a system of local faults. The 13NCEE will provide a unique environment and comprehensive program designed to facilitate synergy between earthquake scientists, engineers, and policy professionals from the United States and around the world.
The 13NCEE Call for Papers is now open! The 13NCEE technical program will be designed around community-submitted papers. There is no preliminary abstract submission and review; the first and only submission is a 4-page paper manuscript. Each submitted paper is subject to a publication submission fee. This fee varies by the submitter’s EERI membership type and helps to cover the administrative costs of paper submission and review.
View the full range of Technical Program Topics here, and visit the Call for Papers page for more information on paper formatting, the submission process, paper submission fees, and selection criteria. Full papers must be received by September 30, 2025.
