International Structural Engineering and Construction Conference

sin-tituloVoy a dedicar el post de hoy a hablar un poco de ISEC (Structural Engineering & Construction Conference). Se trata de una sociedad integrada por profesionales de la ingeniería en las áreas de ingeniería civil, estructural e ingeniería de la construcción. Se trata de una red que se encarga de realizar conferencias, seminarios y publicaciones.

La primera de las conferencias, ISEC-01 tuvo lugar en enero de 2001, siendo la Universidad de Hawaii la organización anfitriona. Siguieron, con carácter bianual, otras conferencias en Roma, Shunan, Melburne, Las Vegas, Zurich, Honolulu y Sidney. El próximo 2017 la Universitat Politècnica de València actuará como anfitriona. Dicha conferencia se desarrollará del 24 al 29 de julio de 2017.

El profesor Eugenio Pellicer actuará como Conference Chair de dicho evento. En mi caso, me ha tocado estar en el Comité Organizador y actuar como co-editor de las comunicaciones que se reciban.

En este momento se han recibido más de 300 comunicaciones, lo cual significa un gran éxito de convocatoria. Hay que pensar que Valencia es un sitio muy atractivo y bien comunicado y eso favorece dicho éxito.

Os paso a continuación el “Call for papers” por si estáis interesados en participar en este evento.

*** CALL FOR PAPERS ***
