Dear colleagues, We are a consortium of COVID-19 public health and social measures trackers (CoronaNet, ACAPS, CCCSL, HIT-COVID, OxGCRT, Oxford Supertracker), and are currently organizing the first COVID-19 Public Health and Social Measures (PHSMs) Data Coverage Conference. We are organizing this conference with the goal of providing groups collecting PHSMs data the opportunity to network, discuss challenges and best practices, establish opportunities for collaboration, and prepare for future pandemics. The conference will also bring together relevant stakeholders from governments, academia, funding, and international organizations to support high-quality, collaborative data collection. The conference will be organized in two workshops over three days: Problem Identification Workshops: February 10th from 9am–1pm EST/3–7pm CET (open to the public) February 11th from 9am–12:45pm EST/3–6:45pm CET (restricted to policy trackers) Tracking PHSMs Data: Lessons Learned from the COVID19 Pandemic: March 3rd (time TBD) (open to the public) Please see this link for more information on the workshops as well as our conference website: www.covid19-conference.org<http://www.covid19-conference.org/> You can register for the conference here<https://eu.jotform.com/form/210176154664353>. The CoronaNet Research Project, represented by Cindy Cheng and Luca Messerschmidt, will host the conference in collaboration with the Chair for International Relations (Tim Büthe) at the Hochschule für Politik (Technical University of Munich) and the PERISCOPE consortium.
