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.
Shake-tables
Other test systems
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.
EPOS, the European Plate Observing System, is a long-term plan to facilitate integrated use of data, data products, and facilities from distributed research infrastructures for solid Earth science in Europe.
To accomplish the EPOS mission, a long-term integration plan is necessary. EPOS IP (EPOS Implementation Phase) is a four-year project that aimed to implement an operational and sustainable platform for Earth science services and establish EPOS-ERIC, the legal entity.
Within the EPOS IP project, Eucentre ha developed the European Seismic Risk Service as part of the European Facilities for Earthquake Hazard and Risk (EFEHR), which is one of the three service domains in the Seismology Thematic Core Service (TCS) of EPOS.
The two others are ORFEUS (waveform services) and CSEM-EMSC (seismologicalproducts services). EFEHR is a non-profit network of organisations and community resourcesdedicated tot advancing earthquake hazard and risk assessment in the European-Mediterranean area
The main activity of the European Seismic Risk Service has been the collection and maintenance of Europe-wide exposure and vulnerability datasets for buildings and components of critical infrastructure.
Tools and software for the development of risk models are also included in this service.
Another key activity has been to ensure that all EFEHR services and activities are well coordinated between the seismic hazard and earthquake engineering communities, and with the Global Earthquake Model (GEM).
Exposure Datasets
European-wide residential building exposure data was compiled through a task led by Eucentre during the NERA project (2011-2014), and it is currently available through GEM OpenQuake platform.
This data was updated and expanded to include industrial and commercial buildings within the SERA project and the models are available through a number of interactive viewers.
Eucentre also developed web services to allow the data to be queried and imported into other tools and platforms, such as QGIS and the EFEHR platform.
Vulnerability Datasets
A number of past European projects have developed and/or identified appropriate fragility and vulnerability functions for European buildings and components of critical infrastructure (e.g. RISK-UE, LESSLOSS, SYNER-G, STREST).
As part of the SERA project, Eucentre has collected and developed sets of functions which are available from the portal of the European Seismic Risk Service.
Tools and Software
The EFEHR Seismic Risk Service promotes the use of the tools and software for seismic risk assessment developed by GEM:
