COVID-19 Research Program | Public Institutions

This compendium, prepared by the Division for Public Institutions and Digital Government (DPIDG) of the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UN DESA), aims to capture emerging trends in digital responses of UN Member States against the COVID-19 pandemic along with other digital government initiatives and provide a preliminary analysis of their main features. These cases are shared for exchange of information so that Member States can learn from each other and possibly create new partnerships.

The Research Council has launched a national program and called for civil society proposals for projects addressing the current COVID-19 pandemic. The proposals must focus on the COVID-19 pandemic and must be of clinical and non-clinical scope. The non-clinical scope includes but is not limited to a) Artificial intelligence, b) e-learning during pandemic, c) emergent tracking and monitoring technologies, d) economic and business impact and e) crisis management.
