Covid-19 Platform
Get scientific insights on the coronavirus by World Health Summit's academic network, the M8 Alliance of Academic Health Centers, Universities and National Academies.
This platform aims to share scientific insights on the corona (COVID-19) pandemic by the individual M8 members: National experience with the virus which can help other countries, research which might be important for other scientists, or data on the virus.
The M8 Alliance is confident, that clear, accurate communication is crucial for a worldwide strategy in managing this pandemic. Only with cooperation and mutual assistance beyond borders this global health crisis can be tackled - we are all together in this.
Please feel free to share the information distributed by this unique international academic network.
