The Centennial of JSCE

Dear colleagues and friends:<JSCE: A Centennial History 1914-2014>

On behalf of JSCE members, I am delighted toannounce that JSCE marks its 100th anniversary inNovember 2014. JSCE holds a three-day-longcelebration,including
100thAnniversary
Commemorative Ceremony and Banquet, International
Forum, and 3rd Roundtable Meeting on Disaster
Management from the 19 to 21 of the month.

Japan Society of Civil Engineers (JSCE) is a Japanese civil engineering professional organization
established in 1914, representing approximately 36,000 members. Since its establishment, JSCE
has contributed to civil engineering progress, infrastructure development and well-being of society
and worked with 300 committees and 9 International Sections to pursue its goal

Over the past 100 years, Japanese civil engineers have
improved their practices to ensure the safety and wellbeing of people in cooperation with their colleagues
around the world.
As the turn of the 21st century, civil engineers have played an increasingly importantrole in addressing globalization challenges, including natural disasters, food and water
shortages, energy scarcity, poverty, and traffic problems. The civil engineers are called
on to foster collaborations among them across borders so as to more effectively
respond to those challenges and to achieve societal resilience and sustainabledevelopment.
The International Forum “Contributions of Infrastructure to Life of Affluence”willtake place on November 20. The forum will discuss civil engineering contributions toachieving an affluent society, reviewing the past infrastructure development andinternational collaborations in the civil engineering field.
Also the Society organizes the 3rd Roundtable Meeting (RTM) on November 19 and20. Civil engineering professionals will come from around the Asian region andexplore the best practices for reducing the impact of natural disasters.

JSCE’s mission is to contribute to create a sustainable society through civil engineering practices.
In order to achieve the mission, JSCE focuses on the following goals:
1) Enhance professional knowledge, skills and practices;
2) Strengthen the contribution of civil engineering to society; and
3) Promote communication, cooperation and collaboration among the members.
The members commit themselves to improve their professional practices, tackle various challenges
and fulfill their responsibilities to society. Their commitment to civil engineering instills a strong
sense of pride, honor and integrity among themselves.
In 2014, JSCE will mark its 100th anniversary and will carry out centennial projects on the theme“social contribution,” “international contribution,” and “citizens interaction” for achieving aresilient society, and for building the society that next generations will enjoy. The International
Symposium will offer a comprehensive review of the past achievements and future civilengineering.
