Open call for research: Calling all universities, institutes and researchers working on COVID-19 (Closed: Oct 31st 2020)
With the aim of accelerating the development of new solutions and treatments to positively impact patients in the short, medium and long term, we invite any researchers or university administrators who are working directly or indirectly to combat COVID-19 to share non-confidential details of their work. We will then disseminate it to our global industry network, which contains R&D teams in over 6,000 companies and the majority of the top-100 pharma and biotech firms, and organise the introductions with R&D teams working in that area.
COVID-19 call for research: what research are we looking for?
The research or technology could be anything directly (e.g. therapeutics, prophylactics, anti-viral drugs, etc.) or indirectly (e.g. protective equipment, diagnostics, respiratory care, etc.) addressing the spread of the SARS-CoV-2 virus or the treatment of COVID-19.
