Abstract

The University of Eastern Finland will join the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic with multidisciplinary research approaches and collaboration. The sub-projects will focus on 1) health effects and care in SARS-CoV-2 infection, 2) lifespan of SARS-CoV-2, its spread, stability and detection, and 3) societal impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. Research is carried out both in national and international collaboration together with world-leading experts. Research will provide solutions on how to prevent SARS-CoV-2 outbreaks and how to diminish both health and societal effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on a national and global scale.
