To the General Coordinator COMSTECH
In the autumn of 2025, in the city of Sochi, Russia, the next XVI Russian National Conference on Earthquake Engineering and Seismic Zoning (with international participation (XVI RNCEE). XVI RNCEE It will be dedicated to the 30th anniversary of education RAEE.
As part of the signed Memorandum of Cooperation, RAEE invites OIC–COMSTECH to participate in XVI Russian National Conference on Earthquake Engineering and Seismic Zoning (with international participation). The exact dates of the conference will be determined later.
The purpose of the conference is to exchange scientific achievements and practical experience on various aspects of ensuring seismic safety in the construction of buildings and structures in the Russian Federation and around the world.
XVI RNCEE – a platform for researchers, professionals and industry experts from around the world to develop new collaborations, gain fresh perspectives and shape the future of civil engineering, architecture and issues of safe construction in seismic areas.
As part of the signed Memorandum of Cooperation, RAEE is ready to receive the OIC–COMSTECH delegation without paying the registration fee consisting of 5 (five) people (flight, accommodation, meals at the expense of OIC–COMSTECH).
We will be glad to see other interested persons among the participants of the XVI RNCEE and others (who were not part of the delegation to the XVI RNCEE).
I ask you to recommend to the Organizing Committee: Mr. Muhammad Ameen Kalroo, Executive Secretary of OIC–COMSTECH, to the Scientific Committee: Sarosh Hashmat Lodi, Dr., Prof., Vice-Chancellor of the NED University of Engineering and Technology and Muhammad Masood Rafi, Prof., PhD, Dean of the Department of Earthquake-Resistant Construction Engineering and Technology NED University. RAEE is ready to include other OIC–COMSTECH specialists in the Scientific and Organizational Committees of the XVI RNCEE.
I ask you to allow the use of the symbols (logo) of the OIC–COMSTECH on invitations and documents of the XVI RNCEE.
To participate in the conference in an expanded format, RAEE suggests that you independently find a sponsor who will pay for the participation of COMSTECH specialists in the XVI RNCEE. You find a sponsor who pays for participation, and we post full information about him on our website and conference materials.
In addition, I want to clarify the proposal related to the involvement of a sponsor.
1. You can attract any sponsors to send a delegation from COMSTECH (entrepreneurs, organizations, private and public foundations, just individuals). We will post information about them on our website at their request.
2. The composition of the delegation is determined directly by COMSTECH. I would like you to personally take over this function. My suggestion to you is that you can include specialists from the Ministry of Science and Technology, or from other ministries and departments among the participants. But this is just my suggestion, it’s up to you anyway.
3. For our part, we will help with the registration of all documents, and also help with the armor at the hotel (I will personally contact our partners in Sochi and will keep this issue under control).
4. We will arrange a meeting of the delegation. Most likely, my son Ivan will meet you.
5. The sponsors pay us only the registration fee for the participants. There will be no other payments to our address.
6. The sponsor can post information about himself at the conference by organizing an exhibition separately. We will also help you organize this part, but you must understand that this part is subject to payment to the hotel or our representative in Sochi, who will coordinate everything with the hotel.
7. The agreement with the sponsor will be signed by three parties – the sponsor, COMSTECH and RAEE. So that everyone knows their rights and responsibilities.
8. If you have a separate agreement with the sponsor, we do not mind and we do not need to be introduced to him. We call it a trade secret. The participation of OIC–COMSTECH in the XVI RNCEE will draw even more attention to the issues and problems of safe construction in seismic regions of the world.
We hope for mutually beneficial cooperation!
