CSIC 2022: Data, performance, decision-making

CSIC’s short film 'Data, performance, decision-making' introduces the collaborative work of the Centre that values data to support better decisions to deliver a safe, more sustainable, economically equitable and resilient infrastructure system – that enables people and the planet to flourish. The film features a number of CSIC projects introduced by CSIC Research Associates and Investigators which demonstrate the real-world impact of the Centre’s work. Watch 'Data. performance, decision-making' on the CSIC YouTube channel.
