Young Engineers Conference

Conference aims

The aim of this SECED conference is to bring together young engineers and researchers from both the industry and academia to meet and exchange ideas related to the study and practice of earthquake engineering and civil engineering dynamics. This conference will focus on: structural dynamics (experimental, numerical and practical); geotechnical earthquake engineering (experimental, numerical and practical); seismology and risk assessment; seismic retrofit.

This is an excellent opportunity for PhD students to display their ongoing research. Prizes of £100 and £50 will be given to the two best papers presented at the conference. To qualify for prizes, the lead author and presenter must be under 35 years of age by 1^st January 2013.
