- Use of spatialized data from public sources (BRGM, CatNat, NASA or other satellite data providers) to assess physical risks,
- Use of econometric and machine learning methods to estimate the impact of climate change on property claims,
- Publication of academic articles, with emphasis on open science publications, and presentation of results at international conferences.
