The US National Academy of Engineering (NAE) announced on February 7, 2023 that Dr. Polat Gülkan at the Department of Civil Engineering at Başkent University, and Professor Emeritus at Middle East Technical University, Ankara, had been elected as a member.
Election to the National Academy of Engineering is among the highest professional distinctions accorded to an engineer. Academy membership honors those who have made outstanding contributions to "engineering research, practice, or education, including, where appropriate, significant contributions to the engineering literature" and to "the pioneering of new and developing fields of technology, making major advancements in traditional fields of engineering, or developing/implementing innovative approaches to engineering education."
Individuals in the newly elected class will be formally inducted during the NAE's annual meeting on Oct. 1, 2023. A list of the new members and international members is given at nae.edu, with their primary affiliations at the time of election and a brief statement of their principal engineering accomplishments. The citation for Dr. Gülkan states that his professional performance “for improving earthquake safety of buildings and seismic resilience worldwide” has earned him this distinction.
This year's election brings membership to the academy to 2,388 members in the United States and 310 foreign associates.
The IAEE is pleased to include Dr. Gülkan on the list of IAEE presidents who have been elected to the US National Academy of Engineering.

On 6 February 2023, a Mw 7.8 earthquake struck southern and central Turkey, and northern and western Syria. The epicenter was 37 km (23 mi) west–northwest of Gaziantep. A Mw 7.7 earthquake, centered 95 km (59 mi) north-northeast from the first, followed on the same day. The number of collapsed and heavily damaged buildings in 11 provinces in the earthquake zone in Turkey reached 230 thousand. The disaster caused a lot of fatalities and injuries and widespread damage to buildings, infrastructure, and historic monuments in Turkey and Syria. The IAEE offers our deepest condolences and sympathy to those affected by the devastating earthquake.

Colleagues, Affiliate Members and Friends of IAEE,
On September 14, 2022, I assumed the position of the sixteenth President of the International Association for Earthquake Engineering (IAEE) from Professor Masayoshi Nakashima. Under the leadership of Professor Nakashima, IAEE made very significant achievements including establishment of the CSI/IAEE Masters Series consisting of publication of monographs written by legendary figures in earthquake engineering, two of which have already been published and distributed at the 17th World Conference on Earthquake Engineering (17WCEE), and meetings with and greeting masters during the world conferences.
The 17WCEE was postponed because of Covid-19 pandemic and was conducted in a hybrid form at Tokyo, Japan with great success in 2021. Now we are looking forward to a great 18th World Conference (18WCEE) in Milan, Italy in 2024 and we look forward to a record participation in it by earthquake engineering professionals from all over the world. Four more CSI/IAEE Read the Masters monographs are in preparation and will be distributed at 18WCEE with corresponding Meet the Masters and Greet the Masters events.
I want to sincerely thank all officers, directors, and staff of IAEE and all 60 national delegates representing their nations and people at IAEE. During its 60 years of existence, IAEE has made a significant positive impact on the state of earthquake engineering worldwide and has brought together the knowledge, talent, and expertise of earthquake engineers worldwide to enable all of us to reduce to the extent that we all can, the disastrous effects of earthquakes worldwide on life and well-being of our fellow human beings. With your help and active participation, we will continue that path and make even more significant contributions to reduction of seismic risk worldwide. I am honored to have been elected to this prestigious position, and I look forward to working with all of you to move IAEE forward along its glorious path.
- Farzad Naeim, President

On behalf of the Canadian Association for Earthquake Engineering (CAEE), I am pleased to invite you to join us at the joint Canadian-Pacific Conference on Earthquake Engineering (https://ccee-pcee.ca/), which will be held in Vancouver, BC, from June 25-30, 2023. This is the first time the Canadian Conference on Earthquake Engineering is being held jointly with the Pacific Conference on Earthquake Engineering, and we are excited to exchange ideas from across Canada, New Zealand, and around the Pacific Rim as we seek to develop a society that is more resilient in the face of earthquake threats.
The technical program will explore the latest advances in structural and geotechnical earthquake engineering, seismology, social science and public policy related to earthquakes, and more. With exciting keynote addresses and special sessions, we will deepen and broaden our understanding of this field that we all care so much about.
We are also eager to show you the best of Vancouver, one of the world's most beautiful and friendly cities. Reconnect with old friends and make new connections in a setting that is second-to-none.
The deadline for abstract submission for CCEE-PCEE has been extended until February 10, 2023
