This is an initiative of the International Association of Earthquake Engineering (IAEE), deployed with the support of Computers & Structures Inc. (CSI), aimed at creating an opportunity for the younger generations of practitioners and researchers to meet in person illustrious representatives of the older generation of scholars in our field.

In addition to the oral presentations included in the conference programme, it is also foreseen that (hard-copy) monographs prepared by each one of the four IAEE-invited distinguished scholars will be distributed to all participants of the conference. These volumes will feature overviews of the history of developments in a given technical area and/or discussion of significant past applications or milestone scientific advancements and/or an insight on future needs, challenges and opportunities.

Soon the four scholars selected by IAEE to be present at the WCEE2024 will be announced and listed on this page, together with a preview of their talk. In the meantime, you might want to follow here the captivating Masters’ lectures that were delivered at the previous world conference.

We are expecting to receive several tens of technical session proposals from the community. These will be reviewed as they arrive, and, once approved, listed here for your consultation. Refer to our Frequently Asked Questions for further details and clarifications. The first set of approved Technical Sessions will be available very soon.

Poster presentations, an integral part of the parallel technical sessions, are also foreseen in this conference, not only because it is not feasible for all submissions to be presented orally, but also because poster presentation constitutes a preferred presentation modality for many participants.

Posters will have to be prepared in electronic format, so that they may be both shown on multimedia displays, as well as made available for preview on the conference website. We want to render poster sessions as enticing and engaging as possible, and are thus thinking of ways to efficiently blend them with coffee and lunch breaks.

The time and duration of each single poster presentation will be explicitly indicated in the conference programme and conference mobile application, so that participants may plan their schedule accordingly.

Working hard is important, but so too is having moments of relaxation and non-sedentary activity amongst friends and colleagues.

Conference participants will thus be able to make use of the table tennis and table football facilities that we will be rendering available at the venue.

And, because competition always renders physical activities even more fun, we are planning to organise two tournaments that will run in parallel throughout the event, with the top teams being then awarded at the Conference’s closing ceremony.

During the registration phase you will be asked to express your potential interest in taking part in the table tennis and/or table football championship, and then we will get back to you for further details on the tournament organisation.
