Abstract

The five funded sub-applications of the University of Turku represent the following fields: bioscience, psychiatry, and political science. The bioscience sub-applications study how an individual's immune response affects COVID-19 symptoms and how statistical and machine learning methods can be utilized for the study of COVID-19 disease course. The psychiatry sub-applications study the utilization of an AI-driven anxiety management tool for web and mobile as well as the growth of COVID-19 related psychiatric problems among children and adolescents. The political science sub-application studies how the national and European political actors could jointly design and employ long-term governance mechanisms with which they can foresee and counter the possible second and third waves of the corona virus.
