The COVID-19 pandemic has challenged science and society to an unprecedented degree. Human lives and the future of our society depend on the response. That response, in turn, depends critically on data. This data must be as complete and accurate as possible; easily and flexibly accessible, and equipped to communicate effectively with decision-makers and the public.

The COVID-19 Data Forum is a project to bring together those involved with relevant data in a series of multidisciplinary online meetings discussing current resources, needed enhancements, and the potential for co-operative efforts.

Speakers include:

• Orhun Aydin, Researcher and Product Engineer, ESRI
• Ryan Hafen, data scientist consultant with Preva Group, and adjunct assistant professor, Purdue University
• Alison L. Hill, Research Fellow and independent principal investigator at Harvard’s Program for Evolutionary Dynamics.
• Noam Ross, Senior Research Scientist, EcoHealth Alliance
