Societies for Earthquake Engineering
European Association for Earthquake Engineering
The objectives of EAEE is to promote regional cooperation among scientists and engineers in the field of earthquake engineering; to advance the research front in the field of earthquake engineering, to contribute and to support all related research and educational activities, to play an active role in organizing the research and educational activities in Europe in the field of earthquake engineering, to play an active role in all aspects of mitigation of the effects of earthquakes in Europe and set a model for other national, regional and international organisations to follow in earthquake risk mitigation.
Hellenic Society for Earthquake Engineering
HSEE is a National Section - Member of the International Association for Earthquake Engineering - I.A.E.E. based in Tokyo, and of the European Association for Earthquake Engineering - E.A.E.E., based in the hometown of the elected, each time, General Secretary of the Association. The scope of H.S.E.E. is: a) The co-operation with the above mentioned International Associations, of which this Society is a member according to their Statutes. b) The co-operation with the National Members of these Associations, through information exchange, visits, etc. c) The promotion of Scientific and Technological Developments and Applications in the field of Earthquake Engineering in Greece, through research, publications, co-operation with Universities.
Society for Civil and Earthquake Engineering Dynamics
SECED was founded in 1969 to promote the study and practice of earthquake engineering and civil engineering dynamics, and acts as a forum for professionals who need to keep abreast of the rapid developments in the field. SECED is the British branch of both the International Association and the European Association of Earthquake Engineering.
Earthquake Engineering Research Institute
The Earthquake Engineering Research Institute is a national, nonprofit, technical society of engineers, geoscientists, architects, planners, public officials, and social scientists. EERI members include researchers, practicing professionals, educators, government officials, and building code regulators. The objective of the Earthquake Engineering Research Institute is to reduce earthquake risk by (1) advancing the science and practice of earthquake engineering, (2) improving understanding of the impact of earthquakes on the physical, social, economic, political, and cultural environment, and (3) advocating comprehensive and realistic measures for reducing the harmful effects of earthquakes.
