The mission of BY-COVID is to mobilize open data, enable linkage and access to data through the European COVID-19 Data Portal, and use this data to support a comprehensive response to the threat of SARS-CoV-2 variants. The main objective of the project is to ensure that data on SARS-CoV-2 and other infectious diseases can be located and used. The project, coordinated by ELIXIR, has 53 partners from 20 European countries. BY-COVID, which will run for 3 years, is part of the HERA incubator plan of the European Commission: "To anticipate the threat of COVID-19 variants". The Aragon Institute of Health Sciences (IACS) is participating in the project by leading a work package to develop solutions to address research questions that arise during pandemics. In addition, the IACS will actively participate in another work package on access to heterogeneous data to process data from the COVID-19 and future pandemics.
