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.
Dr. Paolo Dubini (1980) is Research and Innovation Coordinator at Fondazione Eucentre in Pavia. He oversees relationships and networking with public and private clients, the coordination of commercial projects and internal resources, and the development of the Foundation’s technological innovation.
He graduated in Engineering in 2005 with full marks (100/100) and obtained a Ph.D. in Materials Engineering in 2010, with distinction, from Politecnico di Milano. He has been with Eucentre since 2018, where he served as Senior Researcher, Head of the Construction and Infrastructure Department, and subsequently Head of the Industrial Products Department. On the scientific side, his work focuses on reducing the seismic vulnerability of structures, infrastructure and industrial plants: experimental methods in earthquake engineering, design of experimental equipment, experimental characterization of anti-seismic devices, and shake-table testing for the seismic qualification of non-structural components, equipment and storage tanks.
From 2006 to 2018 he carried out research at the Department of Structural Engineering (2006-2012) and at the Department of Architecture, Built Environment and Construction Engineering (2013-2018) of Politecnico di Milano, focusing on isolation and dissipation devices, in particular on the optimization of pendulum and rubber isolation systems using experimental and computational techniques. During this period he also worked as a technical inspector and FPC auditor for the CE marking of structural bearings (EN 1337) and anti-seismic devices (EN 15129) at the Materials Testing Laboratory.
He is the author of numerous international scientific publications, bringing together research rigor and laboratory experience in service of businesses and public administrations.
