A smartphone app will be developed in coordination with a university in Turkey that will provide safe and efficient information sharing on the course of the COVID-19 pandemic in countries and measures being taken to address it.
The Pandemic Virus Monitoring Application, or PandeVITA, is supported by the European Commission within the framework of the EU research and innovation funding program Horizon 2020.
The project is being coordinated by the Communications and Design Department of Bilkent University in the Turkish capital Ankara and carried out by Finland, Germany, Spain and Belgium.
The aim of the project is to develop a platform and smartphone application that will enable more effective information transfer between citizens, scientists, and the political and economic realms on pandemic crises.
