PERISCOPE partnered with CoronaNet in the organisation of the COVID-19 PHSMs Data Coverage Conference.

The COVID-19 PHSMs Data Coverage Conference brought together relevant stakeholders to discuss current challenges in data collection on government responses to COVID-19, explore potential ways to cooperate, and share funding opportunities among different trackers. The Conference provided the opportunity for researchers and policy trackers to network, exchange and share key experiences and takeaways and reflect on lessons learned with data collection to respond to future pandemics.

The organiser CoronaNet Research Project compiles a database on government responses to the coronavirus. The main focus is to collect as much information as possible about the various fine-grained actions governments are taking to address the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The COVID-19 PHSMs Data Coverage Conference was split into two parts. The first workshop was held on February 10-11, 2021. The second workshop was conducted on March 3, 2021, between 3-7pm CET.
