Joinup launches a new collection to help overcome the COVID19 crisis

The outbreak and spread of the coronavirus are disrupting the work of public administrations, businesses, universities, and schools. Colleagues from the European Commission’s Directorate for Informatics and other services along with the Joinup, National Interoperability Framework Observatory, and Open Source Observatory teamed up to create a collection of solutions and initiatives that help fight against the coronavirus: Digital Response to COVID-19.

Due to the widely used confinement measures and social distancing, digital technology is an essential part of crisis response. Digital Response to COVID-19 is a repository of digital solutions and initiatives that aid us in stopping the pandemic and mitigating its effects. In the repository, you will find a large database of resources useful for public administrations, businesses, and citizens dealing with the ongoing crisis, including:

• open source software
• websites
• hackatons and events
• useful links and resources

As the collection is constantly evolving and updated with newly available digital solutions to tackle the COVID-19 crisis, everyone is welcome to participate, add content, or share their story. To share any ongoing initiatives related to digital responses to COVID-19, please contact the ISA2 team via online form or via email at ISA2ec [dot] europa [dot] eu (ISA2[at]ec[dot]europa[dot]eu).
