Presenter Info & Poster Session Info

Oral Presenters

The conference rooms will be equipped with a laptop that has Microsoft PowerPoint installed and a projector. All presenters are expected to bring their presentation on a portable USB drive and give it to the session moderator 30 minutes prior to their session so that it can be loaded onto presentation laptop.

Poster Presenters

Emerging researchers and students are encouraged to apply to participate in the poster session – refer to application details on the Registration site. All accepted posters will be displayed during the PEER poster session on the evening of Thursday, January 18, in the Great Hall at the International House.

The following templates should be used by PEER-Funded students:
Download the Poster Template for PEER-Funded Research Projects (PowerPoint file – 2.5 MB)

Poster presenters should bring their own pre-printed poster to the meeting. The posters will be displayed on easels with foam-core boards upon which presenters can clip or pin their posters. Pushpins and clips will be available at the meeting. The foam core board backing will be 30″ wide X 40″ tall (75 cm X 100 cm) so posters should not exceed these dimensions. Using those dimensions as a guideline, posters should be organized as follows:

(1) Header – Include all of the following information on the poster header:

Project Title
PEER program for which research was completed.
Names and affiliations of all project principal investigators
Names and affiliation of all student investigators
Names of additional funding agencies as appropriate
Laboratory name, university where the research was conducted

(2) PEER Footer:

Insert the 30″ x 4″ footer into the bottom of your poster (the footer image is already inserted into the poster template above)
Download the footer graphic (JPEG – 2.4MB)

(3) Other Requirements:

There will not be room for supplemental display devices such as computers or projectors, so please plan your poster accordingly. Poster presenters are welcome to provide handouts or business cards to visitors, however there will not be tables for you to place them, so plan on passing them by hand to interested visitors during the poster session.
Posters can be printed in color, but it is not required. However, all posters must be two-dimensional, with no “pop-outs”, three-dimensional elements, or electronic construction.
Use only one side of the poster and do not extend any portion of the design or display beyond the 30″ x 40″ board.
Please do not frame or set in glass or plastic.
The main body of the poster should include at least an Introduction and Conclusions. Possible sections between the Introduction and Conclusions include Background, Methods, Results, etc.
Graphics are always preferred to lengthy text. On the other hand, some brief text, readable from a distance, can be useful to describe the graphics.

2018 PEER Annual Meeting

PEER at 21: The Practice of Performance-Based Engineering for Natural Hazards

Download Program Flyer

The 2018 PEER Annual Meeting will be hosted at the International House at the UC Berkeley campus on Thursday, January 18 and Friday, January 19, 2018.

“PEER at 21: The Practice of Performance-Based Engineering for Natural Hazards” will feature the role of multi-disciplinary performance-based engineering with seismic and related natural hazards to achieve community resiliency. The meeting will open on Thursday, January 18 with plenary sessions highlighting the role of PEER research in the fields of performance-based engineering and resilience, and to identify areas where research and development of technology and tools are needed for effective decision-making. On Friday, January 19, concurrent breakout sessions will be formatted for more detailed discussion and engagement of PEER-funded researchers and projects, with the goal of creating a synergy of resources and information.

Decision-making stakeholders, practicing professionals, researchers, faculty, students, and others interested in the practice of performance-based engineering for natural hazards are encouraged to attend.

PEER Blind Prediction Contest
PEER is organizing a blind prediction contest for a bridge bent that consists of two self-centering resilient columns tested on the PEER UC Berkeley shaking table in October 2017. The winners will be announced at the PEER Annual Meeting.

More information about the competition and deadlines can be accessed from: http://apps.peer.berkeley.edu/prediction_contest/

Poster Presenters – application deadline December 1, 5pm

Emerging researchers and students are encouraged to apply to participate in the poster session – refer to Registration site. All accepted posters will be displayed during the PEER poster session on the evening of Thursday, January 18, in the Great Hall at the International House.
