Interested in competing in the Seismic Design Competition but don’t know where to start? The slides here include helpful start-up information for new SDC teams. You’ll find instructions on how to go about starting a team or a student EERI chapter if your school doesn’t have one yet, too! Please reach out to slc@eeri.org with any questions.

For the 2025 Seismic Design Competition, we are looking into providing full registration grants for new teams, which will provide free registration for up to 5 members per team! This offer would be worth up to $1,000! To qualify, teams must not have attended the competition in the last 3 years and must submit an application that would be open from mid-November to mid-December. 5-10 team registration grants may be available. We hope to confirm these details shortly and will release more information soon!
