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.
With the publication of the letter of Prof. Masayoshi Nakashima, President of the IAEE, the assignment to Italy of the 18th World Congress in Earthquake Engineering (WCEE), to be held in Milan in 2024, has been made official.
Nakashima underlines the excellent work done in the presentation of the candidacy, to which Eucentre participated together with AIM Group International.
The same web page contains the message of Gian Michele Calvi, Professor at the IUSS of Pavia and Director of Science of Eucentre, who replies to the announcement also on behalf of the Italian National Association of Earthquake Engineering, presided by Franco Braga, and the Italian Seismic Engineering Association, presided by Luca Ferrari at the time of bidding, thanking the IAEE and affirming that Italy is honored to host the WCEE 51 years after the 1973 edition in Rome.
Calvi goes on to state that “At that time, earthquake engineering in Italy was still a niche subject in science and technology, before the interest on the matter was reinvigorated by the catastrophic events in Friuli (1976) and in Irpinia (1980). Since then, a long series of devastating earthquakes has followed, and Italian research in the field has grown steadily.
The 2024 conference will thus be a celebration, a world forum, and an omen for the progressive reduction of earthquake risk worldwide.
Hopefully, it will also be the first WCEE planned in the post-COVID era, thus reflecting innovative ways of participating and communicating.”
