Project HERoS - more effecitve fight with COVID-19 pandemia

Specialists from Crisis Information Centre, Space Research Centre of Polisch Academy of Sciences will take part in the project: Health Emergency Response in Interconnected Systems (HERoS). The overall objective of HERoS is to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of the response to the Covid-19 outbreak. The project is funded by EU (H2020 project under the H2020-SC1-PHE-CORONAVIRUS-2020 funding scheme).

HERoS creates and provides policies and guidelines for improved crisis governance, focusing on responders to public health emergencies, and their needs to make informed decisions. HERoS further improves the predictions of the spread by understanding and modelling the impact of local behaviour on the spread of the disease. Furthermore, HERoS improves the management of medical supply chains for preparedness and response, as well as evaluates the impact of cascading effects across global supply chains.

CIK CBK PAN will be responsible for geoinformation and visualization of data and models.
