The Eucentre Foundation, in collaboration with IUSS and the University of Pavia, will play a leading role at the 18th World Conference on Earthquake Engineering (WCEE2024), an event of global relevance to be held from June 30th to July 5th at the Allianz MiCo in Milan. For this prestigious event, Eucentre has set up the Pavia Earthquake Engineering Research Hub, a centre of excellence that will coordinate the event and bring together experts and professionals.
Innovation and interactivity: the SEISMULATOR
One of the highlights presented by Eucentre at WCEE2024 will be the SEISMULATOR, a transportable shaking table designed for dynamic in-situ testing. The SEISMULATOR, together with the Mobile Lab, will offer participants a unique experience: the simulation of three shocks of an earthquake experienced in different contexts, such as a ground floor, a fifth floor and a seismically isolated building. This innovative technology will allow visitors to test a Hilti device and experience the intensity and dynamics of a real seismic event.
Stand F5-E6: A hub of innovation and research
Eucentre and the Pavia Earthquake Engineering Research Hub will be located at stand F5-E6 at Allianz MiCo. Here, visitors will have the thrilling opportunity to engage directly with the latest research and innovations in the field of earthquake engineering. Eucentre experts will be on hand to present their activities and answer participants’ questions, fostering a dynamic and interactive learning environment.
An international event for seismic safety
WCEE2024 is an ideal platform for Eucentre and its partners to share the latest knowledge and technologies in earthquake engineering. The event will be attended by academics, researchers, engineers and industry professionals from all over the world, offering a unique opportunity for networking and collaboration.
Eucentre’s participation in WCEE2024 not only emphasises the importance of research and innovation in the field of seismic safety, but also the central role that Italy and its centres of excellence such as the Pavia Earthquake Engineering Research Hub play globally in seismic risk mitigation.
