Partnerships and Collaborators
The OpenQuake project is part of a larger infrastructure, which includes other independent FLOSS projects and data-collaborations, with the final goal of creating a web-based platform for the assessment of seismic risk worldwide (OpenGEM), based on state-of-the-art models and standards, which can be accessed by users through a variety of tools. The infrastructure and more detailed information can be found in the section ‘About OpenQuake’.
If you feel that you or your organisation could benefit from a collaboration or partnership with the OpenQuake project or the larger GEM effort, please contact us at info@openquake.org.
