Eucentre is a non-profit private law foundation whose mission is to conduct research and provide training and services in earthquake and safety engineering 
Eucentre promotes science, research and innovation for the benefit of the community, offering targeted methodologies and concrete solutions for prevention, safety and resilience. It collaborates with institutions and companies to disseminate competencies for the common good.
Eucentre conducts earthquake engineering research and risk reduction studies via laboratory testing and numerical analysis to enhance seismic performance and develop innovative solutions 
Eucentre carries out research activities in earthquake engineering and risk reduction through laboratory testing and numerical analysis, aiming to improve the seismic performance of structures and soils and to develop innovative seismic retrofitting techniques.
The Foundation promotes diverse and high-quality training activities aimed at academic and professional contexts, with constantly updated and innovative programs and initiatives designed to meet the evolving needs of the sector and society 
Eucentre ensures communication aimed at informing institutions, professionals, and citizens about ongoing activities and projects, with the goal of disseminating useful and accessible content and knowledge. It contributes to promoting a shared and informed culture of prevention and resilience.
The second EMERGE coordination meeting was held on February 5th, 2026, in Thessaloniki, Greece, hosted at the premises of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (AUTH). The meeting brought together representatives from all partner institutions involved in the project and provided a focused opportunity to review progress and coordinate upcoming activities.
The session served as a working forum to assess the overall status of the project, confirm pending actions and next steps, and discuss potential risks or issues that could affect smooth implementation. These discussions were conducted with a strong emphasis on coordination, risk awareness, and alignment across Work Packages.
During the meeting, participants also visited the laboratory facilities of the AUTH Department of Civil Engineering, supporting technical knowledge exchange and strengthening collaboration among academic and research partners.
Alongside coordination activities, the EMERGE consortium continues to disseminate its latest project results. Within WP2 – Comprehensive Multi-Risk Assessment Platform for Needs Prioritisation and Planning, Deliverable D2.3 – EMERGE WBP architecture has been published.
The document describes the architecture of the EMERGE platform, which will be the main product of the project and whose development is the responsibility of EUCENTRE. The purpose of the web-based platform is to support rapid and informed decision-making processes in the post-event phase by integrating algorithms for the assessment of essential needs during the management of seismic emergencies.
The coordination meeting in Thessaloniki further highlighted the importance of transnational cooperation and ongoing exchange among research institutions, universities, and operational stakeholders in achieving EMERGE’s objectives.
