Aims
NCREE is aiming to improve seismic resistant designs for all constructions and to provide feedback to the engineering community through research and development. The Center was built for researchers to collaborate and check their theories by doing various experiments. Their goals are:
- Establish and provide research facilities.
- Develop and improve the seismic engineering database.
- Create and carry-out regulations relating to seismic design codes.
- Co-ordinate and Integrate academic institutes and related industries.
- Introduce, Develop and Educate on seismic-resisting technology.

“The aims of life are the best defense against death.”
—Primo Levi (1919–1987)
“Our age is pre-eminently the age of sympathy, as the eighteenth century was the age of reason. Our ideal men and women are they, whose sympathies have had the widest culture, whose aims do not end with self, whose philanthropy, though centrifugal, reaches around the globe.”
