}}The '''Society for Earthquake and Civil Engineering Dynamics''' (SECED) was founded in 1969 to promote the study and practice of [[earthquake engineering]] and structural dynamics, including blast, impact and other vibration problems. It also supports study of societal and economic ramifications of major earthquakes.<ref name="SECED">{{cite web|title=Home|url=http://www.seced.org.uk/|website=SECED|accessdate=11 December 2017}}</ref>

It is the British branch of both the International Association (IAEE) and the European Association of Earthquake Engineering (EAEE).<ref name="PreventionWeb">{{cite web|title=Society for Earthquake and Civil Engineering Dynamics (SECED)|url=http://www.preventionweb.net/organizations/13192|website=Prevention Web|accessdate=11 December 2017}}</ref> It is an Associated Society of the [[Institution of Civil Engineers]] (ICE), and is sponsored by the [[Institution of Mechanical Engineers]] (IMechE), the [[Institution of Structural Engineers]] (IStructE) and the [[Geological Society of London|Geological Society]].<ref name="SECED" />

SECED has organised conferences and lectures (see below). It hosted a 2002 European conference on earthquake engineering in London, and in July 2015 hosted a two-day conference at [[Homerton College]], [[Cambridge]] titled ''Earthquake Risk and Engineering towards a Resilient World''.<ref name="Conf">{{cite web|title=SECED 2015 Conference|url=https://www.jillrogersassociates.co.uk/seced-home.html|website=Jill Rogers Associates|accessdate=11 December 2017}}</ref> It also organises regular meetings and has published a newsletter since 1987.

==Mallet–Milne lectures==
It organises the biennial [[Mallet–Milne Lecture]], named after [[Robert Mallet]] and [[John Milne]], regarded as the founding fathers of engineering [[seismology]].<ref name="SECED" /> The inaugural lecture was given at the ICE in London on 27 May 1987.<ref name=SSA>Bulletin of the Seismological Society of America, Vol.77, No.2, pp.688-689, April 1987.
