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.
For companies operating in earthquake-prone areas, structural safety is not just a matter of regulatory compliance; it is also a central element of their business strategy. It directly impacts business continuity, staff safety, the protection of facilities and assets, and the trust of customers, partners, and investors. In this complex scenario, the Eucentre Foundation is a leading technical and scientific partner that can provide reliable solutions to all the challenges posed by seismic risk.
When an earthquake strikes, every element of a company’s infrastructure can become vulnerable, including shelves holding heavy materials, production lines, false ceilings, and structural components. Companies must therefore ask themselves crucial questions: What would happen to our plant in the event of an earthquake? Would our equipment remain operational? Would our staff be safe?
Eucentre offers advanced tools and specialist expertise to assess and manage these risks, combining theoretical and experimental approaches. Using cutting-edge technologies such as shaking tables, numerical modelling, testing fundamental components, and dynamic simulations, the Foundation helps companies analyse the seismic behaviour of their structures, plants and products. These activities enable critical issues to be identified, alternative solutions to be evaluated and targeted mitigation measures to be designed.
However, Eucentre’s involvement extends beyond experimentation. The Foundation actively collaborates with companies to develop safe and innovative solutions, integrate seismic resistance criteria into industrial processes and products, and support anti-seismic certification processes. In this way, it helps make companies more resilient and competitive. It raises their awareness of seismic safety. Consequently, seismic safety also adds value to the market as an indicator of reliability and foresight.
In a context where earthquakes can cause extensive damage, production stoppages and severe economic losses, prevention plays a crucial role. Investing in prevention protects people, assets and know-how while ensuring business continuity. Eucentre is a strategic ally for companies that want to anticipate risk, implement long-lasting solutions, and address safety challenges with vision and expertise.
