The objective of WCEAM is to bring together academics, practitioners and scientists from all around the world:
- to promote research, development and application in the field of Engineering Asset Management;
- to strengthen the link between academic researchers and industrial practitioners in the field;
- to showcase the state of the art systems and technology in Engineering Asset Management.
The activities, annual meetings and events of WCEAM provide opportunity for educators, policy makers, practitioners, researchers, and trainers to engage in intellectual discourse on the development and advancement of the body of knowledge and practice of managing engineered assets. The intensive intellectual discourses are peer-reviewed, and the outcomes are edited and collated as the Scopus and Ei indexed WCEAM Proceedings published by Springer. Selected papers are themed, re-reviewed and published under the journal series, Engineering Asset Management Reviews (EAMR).
