ICASP/CERRA Host Message
The International Civil Engineering Risk and Reliability Association (CERRA) was established to advance the education, research, and practice of risk and reliability analysis in civil engineering. Central to CERRA's mission is the organisation and oversight of the International Conferences on Applications of Statistics and Probability in Civil Engineering (ICASP) — held once every four years, these conferences unite engineers, scientists, educators, researchers, students, and practitioners from around the world in pursuit of a deeper understanding and more effective management of uncertainty and risk across all disciplines of civil engineering.
At each conference, CERRA recognises outstanding individual contributions to the field through the prestigious CERRA Award, and, where possible, provides financial support to assist students in attending. ICASP15 marks the 15th edition of this celebrated series, and we are proud to welcome the global civil engineering community to Melbourne in December 2027.
