Data Analytics in the Battle Against the Pandemic

ON MARCH 18, AT 5PM, THE NEXT CIVICA PUBLIC LECTURE SERIES TOURS D'EUROPE, HOSTED BY BOCCONI. ONLINE AND OPEN TO ALL

The Covid-19 pandemic has highlighted the importance of data analytics in studying the characteristics and spread of the virus, monitoring behavioural responses of societies, helping formulating public policy and more. Such aspects will be discussed during the next CIVICA Public Lecture Series Tours d'Europe, hosted by Bocconi, on March 18 at 5pm.

Speakers will be Stefano Caselli, Dean for International Affairs and Professor of Finance at Bocconi, Alessia Melegaro, Professor in Demography at Bocconi and the Director of the Bocconi Covid Crisis Lab, Márton Karsai, Professor in the Department of Network and Data Science at Central European University, David K. Levine, Department of Economics and Robert Schuman Center for Advanced Study Joint Chair at European University Institute. The event will be chaired by Francesco Billari, Professor of Demography and Dean of the Faculty at Bocconi.

“The Covid-19 outbreak has clearly shown the pivotal importance of evidence-based decision-making during healthcare emergencies and the key role of data-driven approaches for policy-making,” comments Caselli. “Sharing and disseminating the outcomes of impactful research in the social sciences aim at supporting effective responses to the major challenges facing our society.”

In the CIVICA Public Lecture Series Tours d'Europe, hosted in turn by the various member universities, researchers present their recent findings and interrogations on timely topics to the general public. The series aims to strengthen citizens' knowledge base and to facilitate a direct dialogue between social science researchers and the wider society.
