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.
The Eucentre Foundation places research at the heart of its institutional mission, both as a starting point and as the ultimate goal of all its activities. Everything conceived, tested, or applied is ultimately aimed at advancing scientific and technical knowledge in the field of earthquake engineering. Research is therefore not merely an operational tool, but a guiding principle that informs the Foundation’s decisions, priorities and investments.
For Eucentre, conducting research means exploring seismic phenomena in all their complexity, analysing their effects on structures and the territory, and developing increasingly accurate tools to mitigate their impact. It also involves transforming experience gained in applied projects into new research questions, maintaining a dynamic balance between theory and practice. Every collaboration with public bodies, companies, professionals or institutional partners is an opportunity to nurture shared knowledge and advance the state of the art.
This commitment is reflected in scientific publications, training courses, conference participation, and international exchanges, aimed at disseminating acquired skills and comparing them with the best global practices. The Foundation is committed to making a solid and recognised contribution to the international scientific community. It involves young researchers, students and PhD candidates in a process of professional and academic development.
Ultimately, Eucentre produces research and fosters its growth by creating spaces, methods, connections, and training courses that enable the development of new ideas and practical solutions for seismic safety. This research is not confined to laboratories; instead, it translates into practical knowledge, professional practice, and greater resilience for society.
