The civil engineering undergraduate program in our branch campus in Quito, as part of the Friedman Family Visiting Professional Program from EEIR, California, invites professors and students to take part in the Conference: “Earthquake Safety for all: the challenge of reducing seismic risk in developing countries”, led by Jorge Meneses.

The conference will address climate change, community resilience to earthquakes and the problems associated with international economic and social vulnerabilities, as well as the importance of a global effort so that no country is left behind and earthquake resilience can be achieved for all.
