The Korean Society of Civil Engineers (KSCE) is pleased to announce the KSCE 2018 CONVENTION (2018 Conference & Civil Expo) to be held on October 17-19, 2018 at the Gyeongju Hwabaek International Convention Center (HICO), Gyeongju, Korea (www.HICOcity.kr). We invite all civil engineers in different fields and different countries to unite, to participate and to create a new chapter of discussion under the slogan, “Civil Engineering for all people!”

     Gyeongju is located in the southeastern part of the Korean Peninsula, and is the most popular tourist destination in South Korea. The city is known for its well preserved archaeological sites and cultural properties, including three World Heritage Sites designated by UNESCO, since the period where it was the capital of the ancient kingdom of Silla (57BC - 935AD).

     On the occasion of the convention, I would like to invite you to participate in the KSCE Civil Engineering Leader’s Network (CELeN) Meeting held at 15:40 - 18:00 on Thursday, October 18, 2018. This year, the CELeN Meeting will be held in two sessions, an English session under the theme “Innovations in Korean civil engineering projects”, and a Korean session under the theme “Harmony between local wisdom and technology in civil engineering projects in my home country”. The main task for these meetings will be promoting the activities of CELeN Student Chapter, sharing knowledge with presentations on the chosen theme, and networking among international students studying in Korea. 

     If you would like to participate, please join the KSCE English Website and register through the Events Participation in My Page by October 3, 2018. Complimentary registration to the convention including Lunches, Banquet, and Convention Kit will be provided to the international students who register through the above e-mail by the due date. We truly look forward to welcoming you in Gyeongju!
