Mission of the Japan Association for Wind Engineering
The Japan Association for Wind Engineering contributes to the development of science and technology related to wind engineering, serving as a networking platform for those who are concerned and interested, with the intention to engage in achieving a safe, comfortable, and sustainable society.
Vision of the Japan Association for Wind Engineering
To achieve a safe, comfortable, and sustainable society, the Japan Association for Wind Engineering will globally lead the wind engineering community by stimulating novel scientific studies and disseminating technologies to society.
<Contributing to a resilient society>
With rising concern about the increased frequency and intensity of climate-related disasters, we will contribute to the realization of a resilient society by assessing disaster risks thereby proposing wind-resistant design methods and damage reduction measures.
- Hazard assessments of extreme weather events that are accelerated by climate change
- Improvement of the wind-resistant performance of structures through advanced wind-resistant design and maintenance management
- Impact assessments of meteorological phenomena on economic and social activities, and proposal of damage reduction measures
- Reduction of damage from meteorological disasters through the utilization of ICT and digital technologies
<Contributing to a comfortable society>
In keeping with rapidly changing era in society, technology, and climate, we will contribute to the formation of comfortable living spaces and societies as well as the realization of people’s well-being from the perspective of wind observation, prediction, control, and utilization.
- Environmental analysis as well as health and comfort assessments of people in cities and buildings in the context of climate and social changes
- Design and operational support for smart cities and buildings to adapt climate change and co-exist with nature
- Planning and operational support for the diverse outdoor activities of citizens, including sports.
- Accurate understanding and prediction of weather and climate based on remote sensing and high-resolution ground observation
- Planning and operational support of comfortable and efficient mobility and transportation systems
- Technological development and environmental understanding for expanding human living spaces, such as super high-rise buildings, outer space, and deep sea
<Contributing to a sustainable society>
We will contribute to the realization of a sustainable society through research and development combined with the promotion and dissemination of renewable energy and energy-saving technologies, providing advanced educational opportunities and technologies to developing countries and others.
- Research and development combined with the promotion and dissemination of renewable energy, such as wind, solar, and geothermal energy
- Research and development combined with the promotion and dissemination of energy-saving technologies, such as improved ventilation in cities and buildings, and aerodynamics of transportation
- Elimination of educational disparities by providing educational opportunities to developing countries and others, and support for the realization of a resilient society by providing advanced technologies
Toward the realization of our vision
We will provide a forum for establishing connections between people, societies, and information related to wind.
- Formation of academic research networks that transcend generations and fields as well as regions and countries
- Dissemination of high-quality knowledge and information through proceedings, academic journals, conference presentations, and other appropriate means
- Promotion of social implementation of research results and the revitalization of research activities based on social issues
