SCEC provides funding for students and early career researchers to present their earthquake research at professional conferences.
A SCEC Research Travel Award can help. The Statewide California Earthquake Center (SCEC) provides travel support for students and early career researchers to present their work at professional conferences, fostering connections and gaining valuable feedback to advance their academic and professional development. These SCEC awards help to remove financial barriers so recipients can contribute to and benefit from crucial research collaborations.
