Experimental research

Our history and the spirit that has always driven us make research in experimental geotechnics one of our natural goals. We love it, and we want to play an ever larger part in it.

Alongside universities and companies

We support universities, institutions and companies with our know-how and advanced laboratory equipment. We work with companies developing and verifying innovative methods, and we collaborate with universities and research centres in Italy and abroad.

Over the years we have built a dense network of academic and industrial partners: national and international research projects, conferences, scientific papers. A high share of our staff holds a PhD, and we host researchers, PhD and MSc students.

Horizon 2020 LIQUEFACT

ISMGEO took part in LIQUEFACT, the largest European research project on seismic soil liquefaction and its countermeasures, funded by the Horizon 2020 programme.
