Australian Earthquake Engineering Conference AEES 2008

The 2008 AEES conference will be held in Ballarat, Victoria and will consist of three half-days (Friday afternoon, Saturday and Sunday mornings).

There will be no single theme for this year’s conference to encourage anyone involved in earthquake engineering or engineering seismology in Australasia to participate. Authors are invited to submit papers on topics related to earthquake engineering and engineering seismology and also from related extreme event topics including blast, tsunami, critical infrastructure protection, emergency management and insurance.

The format will be similar to last year’s with a blend of keynote speakers, oral presentations and poster presentations. Each poster presenter will be given the opportunity for a short oral presentation to the conference delegates together with a dedicated time in front of their poster for in depth discussion. The full paper will be published in the proceedings.
