JSCE International Summer Symposium brings together civil engineers from over 20 countries every year. Over 100 papers are presented annually. The main objectives of the Symposium are to provide a platform for young engineers to examine technological advances and issues, to share their ideas and research projects, and to encourage them to find research partners and teams across languages and distance. It is an excellent opportunity for young civil engineers to discuss their research projects, to acquire new perspectives and to network with their peers.
