The formulation of the International Conference on Earthquake Engineering originated from the 2000 China-US Millennium Symposium on Earthquake Engineering held in Beijing, China, with an aim to chart a clear course and to develop a concrete plan for US-China cooperative research in the field of earthquake engineering and hazard mitigation. In the year of 2001, based on conclusions of the Symposium, a unique international professional consortium called Asian-Pacific Network of Centers for Earthquake Engineering Research (ANCER) was established in Seoul, Korea. ANCER was founded by seven national earthquake engineering research centers, including Korean Earthquake Engineering Research Center, Institute of Engineering Mechanics of China Seismological Bureau, Multidisciplinary Center for Earthquake Engineering Research of USA,
Mid-America Earthquake Center of USA, Pacific Earthquake Engineering Research Center of USA, Disaster Prevention Research Institute, Kyoto University of Japan, and National Center for Research on Earthquake Engineering of Taiwan. The aim of ANCER is to make significant impacts on current seismic hazard mitigation practice through cooperative research activities that can be best advanced on a center-to-center basis over a large geographical area of common interest in the related fields.
In 2002 the International Conference on Advances and New Challenges in Earthquake Engineering Research (ICANCEER 2002), serving as the first Annual ANCER Meeting as well, was held in Harbin and Hong Kong, China to facilitate interchange of knowledge, ideas, and results of research and practical experience among international researchers. The 3rd International Conference on Earthquake Engineering was held in Nanjing, China to brace collaborative efforts among ANCER members and researchers from other part of the world with a theme of "New Frontier and Research Transformation."
