The Call for Papers for the 12th National Conference on Earthquake Engineering (12NCEE) is now open! Special session proposals are due September 10, and papers are due October 15. Please note that there will be no preliminary abstract submission and review for papers?the first and only submission will be a 4-page paper manuscript.
NCEE is a milestone conference hosted by the Earthquake Engineering Research Institute (EERI) every four years. 12NCEE will convene from June 27-July 1 2022 in downtown Salt Lake City, Utah. The conference will bring together professionals from a broad range of earthquake-relevant disciplines, providing an opportunity for researchers and practitioners to share the latest knowledge and techniques to better understand and mitigate the damaging effects of earthquakes and tsunamis. Timely and relevant lessons from the COVID-19 pandemic are also expected. A limited number of registration grants will be available for students, early-career academics, and early-career professionals. For more information, visit https://12ncee.org.

IAEE has launched a new initiative named “Masters Program”. Motivation for the initiative is for IAEE to serve as “Connection” among the past, present, and future of earthquake engineering and to secure the transfer of knowledge across generations.
In “Masters Program”, the following three events: “Read the Masters”, “Meet the Masters”, and “Greet the Masters” are organized. The concept is to connect legendary figures in the world of earthquake engineering with contemporaries. All three events are to be organized in tune with World Conference on Earthquake Engineering (WCEE), and we are pleased to announce that the inaugurating events will be programed into 17WCEE to be held in Sendai, Japan, during September 13 and 18, 2020. (wcee website).

Colleagues, Affiliate Members and Friends of IAEE,
On June 18, 2018, I assumed the position of the fifteenth President of the International Association for Earthquake Engineering (IAEE). I feel much honored to have been elected to this prestigious position, and shall work to my best to promote the sustainable development of IAEE. The utmost mission of IAEE is to provide an international forum in which people with various kinds of expertise convene and discuss issues in the mitigation of earthquake-related disasters. Traditionally, IAEE activities have been energized by engineering practitioners and researchers (civil, structural, mechanical, and geotechnical) and earth scientists (geologists, geophysicists, seismologists). In recent years, the involvement of architects, urban planners, public officials, and social scientists have increased, creating a more multidisciplinary IAEE.
IAEE was founded in 1963. Since that time, IAEE has continued to grow, and as of today, a total of 59 countries and regions are registered in IAEE. Once every four years, IAEE organizes the World Conference on Earthquake Engineering (WCEE) at various cities around the world. The last one (the Sixteenth WCEE, called 16WCEE) was held at Santiago, Chile, on January 2017, where 3,000 people registered for the conference. 15WCEE, which was organized four year before 16WCEE, was held at Lisbon, Portugal, on September 2012, where 2,300 people registered. For nearly 60 years, WCEE has been one of the largest technical/professional gatherings and continues to serve as "Connection" among the stakeholders in relevant disciplines as well as people with diverse backgrounds in culture, religion, and social structure.
Our globe is experiencing an explosive increase in population combined with rapid development and urbanization due to growing economic activities. We now face the ultimate question of how to ensure the sustainable development of the human sphere, in which the threat of earthquake disasters is one of the most critical problems to resolve on a global scale. We shall not overlook the reality that the densification of our cities and towns, which occurs as a result of such development and urbanization, makes our society more and more vulnerable against earthquake disasters. To overcome this vulnerability, we must invent novel solutions, and to this end, expend a more interdisciplinary effort, in which new disciplines are forged through collective, integral efforts among diverse genres. It is also notable that we shall further a transdisciplinary attitude, in which linkage with the real world is appreciated, so that solutions reach the society in a most effective and timely manner. IAEE wishes to serve as "Connection" among people and genres to make our efforts more interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary.
Human factors are naturally influential in the understanding and promotion of efforts that seek for the mitigation of earthquake-related disasters. Learning from the past and reflecting it to the present and future are important. IAEE regards it as its duty to ensure "Connection" among the past, present, and future and to secure the transfer of knowledge across generations. IAEE is currently preparing for a new initiative that can assist such efforts, and will present it soon in detail.
On behalf of the family of national organizations that comprise IAEE, I greet you with respect and look forward to working with you.

The electric copies of about 2,000 papers presented in the 16th World Conference on Earthquake Engineering in Santiago, Chile, 2016 are posted online (https://www.nicee.org/wcee/index2.php). The 16th WCEE provided a unique opportunity to establish synergies between participants from different engineering areas and from such varied fields as earth sciences, economics and social sciences, and contributed to a global effort of the scientific and technical community towards a safer world in what regards the earthquake risk.
Special thanks go to a digital archiving project of the WCEE proceedings.
A fellowship fund has been established in the name of Joseph Penzien to fund and support graduate engineering students enrolled in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of California, Berkeley. Preference will be given to students who have demonstrated financial need and have chosen the field of structural engineering and structural mechanics. The goal is to raise $500,000 to qualify for a named graduate fellowship. [more]
