Sharing data, tools, and workflows for reproducible and reusable research

The fourth annual NHERI Computational Symposium is brought to you by NHERI SimCenter in collaboration with RAPID and DesignSafe. The Symposium is the premier event for exchanging ideas, recent work, and broader impacts within the natural hazards research community. It provides a unique platform for students, researchers, and professionals to discuss and share their recent research efforts and industry applications that employ computational modeling and simulation to understand and reduce natural hazards risks.

The event aims to cultivate community and future partnerships through various networking opportunities, fostering collaborations, and knowledge sharing among attendees. Bring your work, discover new capabilities within a shared infrastructure, and leave with ideas to make your research more reusable.

Pre-symposium workshops begin Wednesday, May 27, 2026 on the UC Berkeley campus. Workshops will provide introductions to NHERI resources and advanced user support.

The Symposium will be a two day event starting on Thursday, May 28, 2026 at the Grimes Engineering Building. The first day includes plenary presentations, focused technical sessions, and an informative poster session/early evening reception. The second day, Friday, May 29, will include focused technical sessions.
