Free reports for you
That is why Séissmo’s own R&D is made transparent and accessible for free — Under the name “Séissmograph”, you will find a series of annual reports on important topics with a special methodological angle.
Séissmo carries out annual, internally funded fundamental research studies based on where we see shifts and movements in the market – the Séissmograph. The Séissmograph Reports allow us to put our methods and techniques to the test, meaning not only do our clients benefit from the findings of our research but also from the optimisation of the methods that we use.
