CoronaNet

CoronaNet is a specialized research initiative established in 2020 to aggregate a comprehensive, event-based dataset tracking government policy responses to the COVID-19 pandemic. Operating within the education and research sector, the project provides granular insights across 18 distinct policy categories, including health monitoring and business restrictions. The dataset covers 195 countries, documenting governmental actions from January 2020 through December 2021 to support evidence-based analysis for policymakers and academic institutions.

The project maintains a significant operational scale, supported by a distributed network of over 1,000 researchers. Meet CoronaNet's team to understand the organizational structure and the collaborative efforts behind this massive data collection initiative. By standardizing complex policy information into a structured format, the project enables researchers to evaluate the efficacy and impact of various government interventions implemented during the global health crisis. The initiative is backed by the EU Horizon 2020 program, ensuring rigorous methodology and sustained research development.

CoronaNet serves as a critical resource for institutions analyzing the intersection of public policy and pandemic management. With its focus on high-quality, event-based data, the project facilitates longitudinal studies and comparative policy research on a global scale. By providing open access to structured datasets, CoronaNet empowers stakeholders to derive actionable insights from the diverse range of government responses observed during the pandemic period, contributing to a deeper understanding of global crisis management strategies.
