8th International Conference on Earthquake Engineering and Seismology (8ICEES)

Welcome to 8ICEES!

Dear Colleagues,

On behalf of the Earthquake Engineering Association of Turkey (EEAT) as the main organizer and the Dokuz Eylül University as the local host, it is our great honor to invite you to the 8th International Conference on Earthquake Engineering and Seismology (8ICEES) held during 17-20 May 2026 at Pine Bay Hotel Convention Center, Kuşadası, Aydın, Türkiye. Additionally, the Turkish Association for Seismic Isolation will also organize a one-day workshop during the conference.

Türkiye has been subjected to devastating earthquakes in the past, and public awareness in the country has risen significantly after the 1999 Kocaeli and 2023 Kahramanmaraş earthquakes. The public and private sectors took immediate action in response to the earthquakes. Since then, several earthquake awareness programs have been initiated, and risk reduction methodologies have been implemented for all types of structures. In addition to structures, implementing proper structural or non-structural risk mitigation tools for critical infrastructure is also required for safety purposes and to reduce the insurance premiums for these facilities. Thus, this conference aims not only to bring together scientists, professionals, governmental officials, and NGOs working in the field of earthquake engineering and seismology but also to discuss the current problems in earthquake engineering. It will provide a unique opportunity for exchanging ideas and help create contacts among scientists for future bilateral and multi-lateral scientific cooperation nationally and internationally.

We look forward to your participation and support of this conference, which will be held in Kuşadası, Aydın, Türkiye; one of the most attractive, religious, and touristic places in the world, with numerous natural and historical sites to visit in the turquoise blue Aegean region. We kindly ask that you visit the conference website at www.iceesturkey.org/8icees for detailed information.
