Last July we received funding for the project «Data Sciences against Covid-19» (CD4COVID), from the Supera Covid-19 fund that Banco Santander launched in April, together with CRUE Spanish Universities and the Higher Council for Scientific Research ( CSIC). The fund, endowed with 8.5 million euros to finance programs, projects and support measures, aims to minimize the impact of the crisis generated by the pandemic and focuses on three lines of action: research, impact projects social and strengthening the technological capacity of Spanish universities.
Our project is a collaborative work that we have developed voluntarily and altruistically since the beginning of the crisis caused by the pandemic, professors from Valencian universities. The research entitled «Data science against Covid-19» brings together the participation of civil society (through a citizen survey), experts from the academic-research environment and public administration, with the aim of providing information so that the those responsible for public crisis management can make informed decisions based on scientific evidence obtained from data analysis. In particular, I collaborate in the epidemiological models part and as head of the UPV node together with Miguel Rebollo from the VRAIN Institute. The initiative, linked to the Valencian Strategy in Artificial Intelligence through the commissioner of the presidency occupied by the researcher Nuria Oliver.
