New INQUA website and TERPRO online membership form
2018-02-07 | in PATA daysINQUA has a wonderful new website: https://inqua.org/. Most importantly, it now has a form to register with the TERPRO commission (becoming a member = subscribing to the mailing list): https://inqua.org/commissions/terpro/join. Becoming a member doesn’t lead to any obligations, but comes with two advantages:
1) You will be informed about TERPRO news every now and then;
2) You’ll have the right to vote for the new TERPRO leadership!There are a couple of changes ahead of us, let’s make sure the earthquake community makes itself heard. During the past years, INQUA-TERPRO has always supported our PATA Days meetings by sponsoring travel grants for
early career researchers and researchers from developing countries. You joining TERPRO will help to continue that amazing work and to support PATA Days, ECRs & DCRs in the future. So please register!Thanks and see you in Thessaloniki: https://www.patadays2018.org/
