Wind Engineering Society

A forum for the discussion of matters related to wind engineering has existed in the UK for many years, with informal meetings being held since 1963 at the National Physical Laboratory, the Building Research Establishment and elsewhere. In the late 1980s it became apparent that there was a need to formalise these activities and a number of likeminded research workers, academics and colleagues from industry formed the Wind Engineering Society. The Society was formally inaugurated in September 1990, and in May 1991 it became a Specialist Knowledge Society of the Institution of Civil Engineers. The Wind Engineering Society is also the UK national delegate to the International and European Associations for Wind Engineering. The aim of the Wind Engineering Society is to promote cooperation in the advancement and application of knowledge in all aspects of wind engineering.
