Research and Thought Leadership

Good advocacy needs good evidence. We produce the data, frameworks, and practical guidance that show what resilient and sustainable infrastructure looks like and how it can be delivered.

This Foresight Review will seek to achieve new clarity on the definition of Nature-positive Engineering, gain insights into the current state of practice, insights and research in this field, identify new and emerging trends, and provide a framework for traditional engineering approaches to become ecology-inspired from ideation to implementation and delivery.

The Coalition for Disaster Resilient Infrastructure (CDRI) has commissioned The Global Infrastructure Resilience Survey (GIRS) with ICSI as the Lead Technical Partner. The Survey is a global study that will gather perspectives from infrastructure professionals worldwide and deliver unprecedented insights into infrastructure resilience across regions, sectors, and institutional structure.

A new collaborative effort to build a global engineering workforce that is equipped with the right skills, in the right places. It aims to become the definitive multi-stakeholder platform for tracking progress across the engineering profession, identifying emerging trends and skill requirements, and informing policy and investment decisions.

A project to operationalise the World Risk Poll by conducting statistical analysis of the Poll data to identify factors influencing people’s choice of and trust in sources of information about disasters, as well as levels of individual and household preparedness. In partnership with ICSI, UCL and the Lloyd’s Register Foundation.

Infrastructure choices are often made without engineering expertise at the table. We change that, championing the engineering perspective and turning technical evidence into language that decision-makers can act on.

We need engineers with the right skills, in the right places. We address capacity gaps in the workforce, equipping engineers to deliver resilient, nature-positive, and inclusive infrastructure.
