Access2 Partners

The Mid-America Earthquake Center’s Preferred Access Program, Access2, is a subscription service, which provides preferred access to the Center’s products and permits interested industry and government affiliates to become a part of the MAE Center family. The access2 Program ensures that industry, business, and government can take full advantage of new opportunities presented by the ICOTT Program.

Through this program, the private sector has access to the latest research results of the Center via published reports, technical papers, and software and data. Participation in the program can range from attending conferences and seminars about specific earthquake technologies to interfacing directly with coordinated research programs as well as with individual research, outreach and education projects.
