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.
Testing has always played a fundamental role in scientific research, in validating models and theories, identifying structural characteristics and defining the performance of systems and components. In structural engineering, and particularly in seismic engineering, testing has progressively become essential thanks to new technologies that facilitate both test execution and data acquisition and processing.
The more than 100 people who work and collaborate with Eucentre bring together a range of professional, scientific, and cultural skills that have enabled Eucentre to grow its reputation and its role at national and international levels in the field of seismic engineering.
This growth has certainly also been possible thanks to the laboratories, which individually and collectively represent a unique research and service facility in Europe and one of the best in the world.
By exploiting the most innovative technologies, the laboratories enable structures and materials to be tested in conditions that closely resemble real-life scenarios. The performance of the experimental equipment enables large-scale prototypes to be tested in both static and dynamic regimes, thus reducing uncertainties in interpretation and correlation with real conditions. This has grown since the initial investment in 2003.
