Eucentre Foundation

EUCENTRE FOR

THE RESEARCH

All the activities of the Eucentre Foundation originate from Research and at the same time the Research is its main goal: if, in fact, in order to give an adequate response to the Founders, Entities, Practitioners and Partners, it is necessary to be at the forefront of the scientific research, it is clear how the experiences and expertises need to be echoed in research itself through publications and courses for practitioners >>>

THE INDUSTRY

When an earthquake occurs how does a vine, a glue, a shelf, a closet, a window, a ceiling, a wall, a pillar, a beam, a room, a whole building, a set of buildings behave?
Companies need clear and certain answers: the Eucentre Foundation is able to provide them, both theoretically and experimentally, thanks to the expertise and experience gained over the years and at the cutting-edge laboratories >>>

THE INSTITUTIONS & GOVERNMENTS

Eucentre was founded by public institutions (DPC, INGV, UniPV and IUSS) and since its foundation, therefore, a large part of its activities is related to Public Authorities and Governments.
From the participation in research projects to support in the training of technicians for the assessment of structures and buildings, from the elaboration of scenarios of damage in case of seismic events to >>>

THE PRACTITIONERS

The practitioners can find in Eucentre the ideal partner to enhance their expertise in the field of mitigation of seismic risk. Since the beginning of its activities, Eucentre has aimed to promote, support and supervise training and research in the field of the reduction of seismic risk through various actions, including the training of operators with strong scientific and professional capabilities in >>>

THE CITIZENS

In recent decades, hygiene, health and the environment have led to a decisive improvement in the general conditions of life. We believe we should also focus on seismic education: our homes, offices, schools, hospitals can be constructed or adapted to better respond to seismic events, so to reduce if not eliminate the risk of damage and collapse. The Eucentre Foundation seeks to improve the citizens >>>

THE STAKEHOLDERS & PARTNERS

Eucentre needs partners: research, experimentation, training, and dissemination in the field of earthquake engineering must be fueled by ideas, criticisms, demands, that can not only come from within but must be gathered from the outside world, from whom it is daily confronted with the reality and with the problems of people, companies and institutions. Eucentre wants to be a promoter and a part of a network, trying >>>
