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.
Dr. Paolo Dubini (1980) is currently head of the Construction and Infrastructure Department at the Eucentre Foundation.
He graduated in engineering in 2005 with a score of 100/100 and obtained his PhD in materials engineering in 2010 with honours from the Politecnico di Milano.
Since 2018, at the Eucentre Foundation in Pavia, he has been involved in the development of seismic vulnerability reduction for structures and infrastructure, as well as experimental methods in the field of earthquake engineering, the design of experimental equipment, the experimental characterisation of anti-seismic devices, and the performance of shaking table tests on non-structural components.
From 2006 to 2018, he conducted continuous research at the Department of Structural Engineering (2006-2012) and at the Department of Architecture, Construction Engineering, and Built Environment (2013-2018) of the Politecnico di Milano.
His research activities have primarily focused on isolation/dissipation devices, with a particular emphasis on optimising the design of pendulum and rubber isolation systems, utilising both experimental and computational techniques. During the same period, he was involved in the activities of the Materials Testing Laboratory as a technical inspector and FPC auditor for the CE marking of structural supports (EN 1337) and anti-seismic devices (EN 15129).
