International Structural Engineering and Construction Society

The International Structural Engineering and Construction Society (ISEC) is a non-profit professional body founded in 2001 to represent members of the civil engineering, structural engineering, and construction engineering profession worldwide. Based in Fargo, North Dakota, it offers educational conferences, seminars, and literature through an international network of advisors and regional representatives.
Mission.
According to its website, "The mission of ISEC Conferences is to enhance communication and understanding between structural, system, and construction engineers, for successful design and construction of engineering projects. Interdisciplinary integration and international cooperation are encouraged. ISEC conferences promote innovative and integrative approaches in life cycle systems thinking in civil and building engineering that include constructability, specifications, design, bidding, and construction. It is the purpose of ISEC to provide an international forum for the discussion of topics important to developing new knowledge in construction and structural engineering. The aim of ISEC is to conduct such conferences at an international level.".
History.
ISEC was founded in Honolulu, Hawaii on January 24, 2001, with its first conference in Waikiki hosted by the University of Hawaii. Since its formation ISEC Society has held the following conferences:
Conferences and education.

ISEC Press.
Since 2014, ISEC Society launched ISEC Press as a publishing subsidiary. The title is now known as "Proceedings of International Structural Engineering and Construction," carrying an ISSN number of 2644-108X. All articles are registered with Crossref as journal articles. The main, ISEC conference publications are indexed in Scopus.
The articles go through a rigorous peer-review process. Abstracts are reviewed double-blind, whereas the manuscripts are reviewed single-blind. All articles go through an extensive copyediting process.
