LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENTOF 6ICESS ORGANIZING COMMITTEE
Dear Colleagues,
We are happy to announce that the 6th International Conference on Earthquake Engineeringand Seismology (6ICEES) will be hosted by Gebze Technical University (GTU) Civil EngineeringDepartment. The conference will take place at GTU Congress and Cultural Center (GTU-CCC), Gebze,Turkey, between October 13th and 15th, 2021.The conference aims at bringing together scientists, professionals, governmental officials, andnon-governmental organizations working in the field of Earthquake Engineering and Seismology.It will provide a unique opportunity for exchanging ideas and help create contacts among thescientists for future bilateral and multi-lateral scientific cooperation internationally and nationally.This conference will cover a wide variety of subjects on Earthquake Engineering and Seismology, from disaster management and risks, economic and social impacts of earthquakes, induced andtriggered seismicity, to machine learning in seismology and earthquake engineering, performance-based design of structures, seismic resilience, and structural health monitoring. The 6ICEES will offervarious programs, including Keynote/Parallel/Special, Poster, Young Researcher Sessions, as well as exhibitions. Prior to the conference, a two-day short course on various topics on October 11-12, 2021, isalso being planned.
GTU is one of Turkey’s leading universities and has been declared as one of the ten researchuniversities of Turkey. GTU is located at the heart of the industry, at a key location that connectsAsia and Europe. It is a maximum 1 hour away from Istanbul, Kocaeli, Sakarya, Bursa, and Yalovacities, and a 15-minute drive from Sabiha Gökçen Airport.

LETTER FROMTHE PRESIDENT OF EEAT
On behalf of the Earthquake Engineering Association of Turkey (EEAT), it is my great honor to inviteyou to the 6th International Conference on Earthquake Engineering and Seismology (6ICEES), whichwill be held during 13-15 October 2021 at Gebze Technical University (GTU) Congress and CultureCenter. The organization will be hosted by GTU Civil Engineering Department.
Turkey has been subjected to devastating earthquakes in the past, and the raise of the public awarenessin Turkey raised significantly after the 1999 Kocaeli earthquake. Public and private sectors tookimmediate actions against earthquakes. Since then, a number of earthquake awareness programswere initiated and risk reduction methodologies were implemented to all types of structures. Inaddition to structures, implementation of proper structural or non-structural risk mitigation toolsfor critical infrastructure is also required for safety purposes and to reduce the insurance premiumsof the facilities. Thus, this conference aims at not only bringing together scientists, professionals,governmental officials and NGOs working in the field of earthquake engineering and seismology, butalso discussing the current problems in earthquake engineering related problems. It will provide aunique opportunity for exchanging ideas and help create contacts among the scientist for futurebilateral and multi-lateral scientific cooperation nationally and internationally.
We are looking forward to your participation and support to this conference, which will be held atGTU, Kocaeli, one of the main industrial and trade center of the Marmara region.
Best Regards,
Prof. Dr. Bilge Siyahi
President of EEAT
