COVIDLab Córdoba

The COVIDLab was created by the Ministry of Science and Technology of the Province of Córdoba, who invited academics, designers, developers, companies and entrepreneurs to participate. The initiative seeks to develop solutions to the challenges posed by the coronavirus pandemic in the province. For this purpose, five working groups are drawn up, which focus on the following topics: 1. Initiatives to understand the dynamics of the virus and prevent its spread; 2. Tools to facilitate life in social isolation; 3. Solutions for post-pandemic life and adaptation to the new normality; 4.Measures to facilitate access to food; 5.Measures to combat the socio-economic impact of the pandemic. The event had more than 1200 participants, and the winning projects were selected by a pre-established jury and the public. The Government committed to analyzing the possibility of implementing such projects.
