Civil Engineers
represent a majority in Engineering Organisations at national,
regional and international level. Civil Engineers in their role as
professionals, managing the built and natural environment, have a
crucial influence on the lives of people globally. The challenges to
public safety, health and welfare are becoming more demanding. It is
therefore essential to promote high ethical and technical standards
of civil engineering worldwide and also to encourage the exchange
and transferof knowledge and technological advancement.
Consequently, the European Council of Civil Engineers ECCE), during
it’s general assembly meeting in Athens in 2002 proposed the concept
of a global civil engineering body in order to foster co-operation
between organisations of Cvil Engineers and between organisations
within Civil Engineering world wide. Following lengthy
debates and analysis of the WCCE proposal, an ad-hoc ECCE working
group prepared a draft document on the creation of a World Council
of Civil On the 13th November 2005, an international meeting was summoned in Istanbul following ECCE’s general assembly. The 15 civil engineering organisations present, from Europe and America, decided to create the World Council of Civil Engineers. WCCE proposes to work closely with other international organisations such as WFEO. The cooperation between both bodies will benefit the engineering profession on all continents. The official founding event of WCCE is scheduled to take place in July 2006 and all national, regional and international Civil Engineering Organisations or affiliated branches worldwide interested in participating are cordially invited and welcome to join in this event.
