About ACECC

The Asian Civil Engineering Coordinating Council (ACECC)

ACECC, the Asian Civil Engineering Coordinating Council, was established on September 27, 1999, in Tokyo, with 5 civil engineering societies/institutes present, namely ASCE, CICHE, JSCE, KSCE, and PICE, to promote collaborative work towards sustainable development of infrastructure within the Asian regions. ACECC membership is open to worldwide professional organizations that comply with the criteria established in the Constitution and By-laws. Today, ACECC is comprised of 17 member societies as listed on our website – https://acecc-world.org/
