Message of the Chair

Dear friends and colleagues,

The ECEE organization is moving forward, and the conference is less than a year away.

With over 1,000 participants expected, ECEE 2026 will be one of the most significant earthquake engineering events in Europe and around the world.

We warmly invite you to contribute to the program. Share your research, projects, insights, and ideas to help shape the future of earthquake engineering and create a safer, more resilient world.

Please take a look at the new additions to the website, such as the preliminary program, Special Sessions and Workshops, and the technical and sightseeing tours.

Join the discussions under our motto, “ECEE2026: Shaping the Future of Earthquake Engineering for a Safer and More Resilient World!”

We also invite you and your company to explore sponsorship opportunities or participate in the exhibition.

We hope to meet you all in Berlin!

Shaping the Future of Earthquake Engineering

ECEE 2026 serves as an open framework for diverse encounters, exchange, and inspiration related in some way to the broad field of earthquake topics and neighboring areas. The focus is on a variety of formats that create room for impressions, conversations, and individual interpretations, without committing to a specific thematic direction.

Through a varied program with contributions from different participants, open discussion moments, and additional activities, an environment is created in which each attendee can set their own focus and take away personal impressions—without any concrete promises regarding particular content, outcomes, or objectives.
