WELCOME

India is bidding for the 19^th World Conference on Earthquake Engineering to be organized by ISET, and to be held in New Delhi, India. South Asia has last hosted a WCEE in 1977 when India hosted the 6WCEE at New Delhi. South Asia covers 3.5% of the world's land surface area, but has a population of more than 2 billion or about 25% (one-fourth) of the world's population, making it both the most populous and the most densely populated geographical region in the world. Also, South Asia is home to many highly seismically vulnerable nations on the planet. Hosting 18WCEE in India will go a long way in sustaining the discourse among the policymakers of the highly seismically vulnerable South Asian nations on the importance of funding Disaster Risk Research and thus will have a greater contribution towards global seismic risk reduction compared to hosting in other bidding nations. While you're here, make sure to visit iconic landmarks such as the Taj Mahal, Red Fort (Lal Qila), and Qutub Minar, as well as other selected locations across India. Explore the rich cultural heritage and natural beauty of India, and join us in building a sustainable and resilient future for our planet.

Our bid is being supported by various raputed National agencies like MoES, BMTPC, CBRI, IITs etc.
