The Asian Civil Engineering Coordinating Council (ACECC) was established on September 27, 1999 in Tokyo, with five civil engineering societies namely ASCE, CICHE, JSCE, KSCE and PICE to promote collaborative work towards sustainable development of infrastructure within the Asian Regions.
ACECC membership is open to worldwide professional organizations that comply with the criteria established by
ACECC (www.acecc-world.org).
ACECC
Asian Civil Engineering Coordinating Council (ACECC) is an international body committed to promote collaborative work towards sustainable development of infrastructure within worldwide professional organizations. It focuses on the goal to improve the quality of life through use, innovation and discovery of appropriate technologies to meet the needs of diverse Asian populations and cultures. It also commits to work together for protecting and enhancing the environment, inspiring optimism and creating a sustainable Asia as part of a sustainable world.
ACECC Objectives
- Promote and advance the science and practice of civil engineering and related professions for sustainable development in the Asian region.
- Encourage communication between persons in charge of scientific and technical responsibility for any field of civil engineering.
- Improve, extend and enhance such activities as infrastructure construction and management, preservation of the precious environment and natural disaster prevention.
- Foster exchange of ideas among the member societies/institutions.
- Cooperate with any regional, national and international organizations to support their work, as the ACECC deems necessary.
- Provide advice to member societies/institutions to strengthen their domestic activities.
- Achieve the above objectives, international conferences called the Civil Engineering Conference in the Asian Region (CECAR) will be held on a triennial basis as the main activity of the ACECC.
What is CECAR
The international conference organized by ACECC, CECAR, is one of the major activities of ACECC. Leaders and decision makers from academia, industry, and the public sector get together to discuss the issue of infrastructure development in the Asian region, and disseminate developments and potential solutions to the world. CECAR is held every 3 years with participants from ACECC member countries and others.
The Civil Engineering Conference in the Asian Region (CECAR) is a major activity of ACECC held on a triennial basis. The upcoming 10th CECAR (CECAR10) will be hosted by the Korean Society of Civil Engineers (KSCE) in Jeju, South Korea. Leaders and decision-makers from academia, industry, and the public sector get together to discuss the issue of infrastructure development in the Asian Region and disseminate developments and potential solutions to the world.
The theme for CECAR10 is Sustainable Management and Resilient Technology (SMaRT) in Civil Engineering. Technical areas covered will include all fields of civil engineering.
CECAR History
The Asian Conference on Civil Engineering (ACCE) which was the first International Conference of its kind in Asia was organized and held in Manila, Philippines by three societies, Philippine Institute of Civil Engineers (PICE), American Society of Civil Engineers, (ASCE) and Japan Society of Civil Engineers (JSCE) on February 19-20, 1998; this conference was later designated as the 1st CECAR.
