The Department of Civil, Environmental, Architectural Engineering, and Mathematics (DICATAM) brings together the different areas of expertise in Civil and Environmental Engineering and Architecture, combined with the cultural contribution of the Mathematics group of the University of Brescia.
The research activities consequently span a wide range of topics of great practical and cultural scope, with differentiated and specific approaches to the different areas ranging from the more quantitative to the descriptive ones.
The relevance of the research topics addressed by the various groups is in any case demonstrated by the excellent international ranking of publications and by the Department's roots in the territory, confirmed by the numerous conventions established over the years with multiple authorities and productive realities, even well beyond the local scale.
DICATAM also houses seven research centers dedicated to promoting, securing funding for, conducting, and disseminating research findings in the fields of environmental remediation and the restoration of degraded areas, applied seismology, structural dynamics, and urban mobility safety issues.
