World Council of Civil Engineers

The World Council of Civil Engineers focus its interest entirely on civil engineers which represent an important percentage – around 50% - of all engineering organizations world wide, at national, regional and international level. And this should be done through an organisation of its own, capable of addressing the specific problems and issues typical of the civil engineering fields. The purpose of civil engineering is to improve living conditions for all mankind, and this can more easily be achieved if Civil Engineers worldwide share their knowledge and experience in the application of technical progress to economic and social advancement throughout the world. Our founding members have expressed their preference to be real leaders in the civil engineering arena instead of playing the role of simple followers of predominant organisations. Unless we begin to lead effectively we will be let, with little opportunity to influence the choice of path. WCCE pretends to facilitate a global platform where all the members are equal, regardless of their origin. Our council is open to all the existing organisations involved directly or indirectly in the civil engineering and construction business, willing to collaborate in a positive way in the achievement of our common goal.
