The Laboratory of Engineering Geology (EnGeo) of Patras University was founded in 2000 in the Department of Geology and became autonomous on year 2000 (PD 284/2000). EnGeo significantly contributes to the educational and research activities of the Department and allocates modern laboratorial and in-situ research equipment. EnGeo deals with research subjects related to technical work’s study, construction and operation and their impact on geo-environment. Additionally, EnGeo deals with research subjects related to the influence of geohazards on the geo-environment due to the forthcoming climate change, focusing on landslides. Innovative research is carried out by researchers, including faculty members and scientific assistants (Post-docs, PhD students), mainly funded by external research projects. The team also includes external experienced researchers employed in Public Organizations and Private Construction and Consulting Companies.
