ASEANwind attendees at the APCWE-VII and APEC-WW2009

It has been about a month ago since wind engineers from around Southeast Asia attended the 7th Asia-Pacific Conference on Wind Engineering (APCWE-VII) which was held in Taipei, Taiwan from 8-12 November 2009. 

Right after the APCWE-VII some delegates also attended the APEC-WW2009,

The "ASEANwind" website has been created

Since 3 December 2009, the "ASEANwind" website is now online.  The website is built on Google's Blogger platform.  The aim of the website is to have a central location for information and news related to wind engineering in the Southeast Asian region.

What is Wind Engineering?

"Wind engineering is best defined as the rational treatment of interactions between wind in the atmospheric boundary layer and man and his works on the surface of Earth." - Dr. Jack E. Cermak

Upcoming Conferences

Southeast Asian Wind Engineering Symposia

• There are currently no wind engineering symposia in the Southeast Asian sub-region.

International and Regional Wind Engineering Conferences

How to Join ASEANwind

Currently ASEANwind is only a 'virtual organisation' which uses the vast resources of the internet for communication and cooperation in the field of wind engineering.  It is effectively an ad-hoc/informal group of wind engineers in Southeast Asian[1] countries. 

There is currently no formal membership requirements, but it is desireable that interested individuals have done some wind engineering research or practicing wind engineering, have attended courses that are specific to wind engineering, and either a citizen of one of the Southeast Asian countries or a practicing wind engineer currently employed in any of the Southeast Asian countries. 

List of Members - December 2009

Note: As ASEANwind is only currently a "virtual," adhoc/informal organisation, an individual is considered a member if he/she is subscribed to the ASEANwind e-group.  For more information on "membership," visit the "How to Join" page.
