OUR VISION

is to establish an international large-scale cohort for the conduct of retrospective and prospective studies in order to generate rigorous evidence to improve the prevention and treatment of COVID-19 and to be better prepared for future pandemics.

OUR OBJECTIVES

  • to develop evidence-based recommendations for effective prevention, protection and optimized treatment of COVID-19 patients (including long-term consequences) with a special focus on ‘at risk’ population, including healthcare workers and fragile individuals
  • to assess impact of environmental factors, socio-economic determinants, lifestyle and confinement measures on the spread of COVID-19
  • to provide knowledge on the efficacy of vaccines against SARS-CoV-2
  • to provide a model for responsiveness for future pandemic outbreaks.
