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.
Igor Lanese, Ph.D., is the Scientific Responsible of the 6D Shaking Table and Damper Testing system of Eucentre experimental laboratories.
He took his Laurea degree in Civil Engineering in 2007 at University of Pavia with 110/110 cum laude, Ph.D. in Earthquake Engineering and Engineering Seismology (EE/ES) in 2012 at IUSS of Pavia with final evaluation of “Excellent” and the M.Sc. in EE/ES in 2015.
He is working since 2007 in the field of theoretical and experimental research in earthquake engineering.
The main topics of his research include advanced experimental techniques, real-time dynamic hybrid testing with sub-structuring, structural health monitoring, experimental characterization of existing structures and seismic isolation.
The research activities of the last years also include numerical and experimental assessment of existing buildings and retrofit techniques based on fiber-reinforced polymers.
He actively participated in several national and international research projects and in the post-emergency in situ surveys after the 2009 L’Aquila and 2016 Amatrice earthquakes, also teaching courses for professional engineers on the assessment of civil and historical buildings.
