South Asia Conference on Earthquake Engineering (SACEE) has been constituted under the auspices of SHAKE. This is the first SACEE which is being held in Pakistan. The event will be held after every two years and the venue will be rotated among the member states of SHAKE. Either individual institution or consortium from the member states could organise the event. The participation of the speakers and presenters, however, is welcome and encouraged from all over the world. The selection of venue for the next conference and organising body will be carried out using a bidding process which will be held at the end of the conference. Institutions interested in organising the next SACEE in 2021 can contact the conference secretariat by sending their expression of interest.
