Learning From Earthquakes

Applications Open for 2026 Taiwan Travel Study

Applications are now open for the 2026 Learning From Earthquakes Travel Study Program in Taiwan, October 18-24, 2026. The Earthquake Engineering Research Institute (EERI) is teaming up with the National Center for Research on Earthquake Engineering (NCREE) to host the program.

This 2026 program offers a unique opportunity to learn directly from earthquake experts in the field and to contribute to recovery knowledge from major earthquakes in Taiwan. Following successful past programs in Chile, New Zealand, and Mexico, this field study trip will provide attendees an opportunity to build an understanding of the role and importance of reconnaissance and provide familiarity with long-term reconnaissance and recovery assessment. The program seeks to inspire the next generation of leaders in seismic safety advocacy.

The application form is available here and the deadline to apply is February 20, 2026 at 12 pm PT. For additional information about eligibility to participate, program costs, sponsorship opportunities, and more, view the news post here.
