A hub for researchers, decision-makers, and user groups to understand how Covid-19 is impacting on law, culture, society, health and the Arts
The Pandemic and Beyond brings together 70+ teams of researchers across the UK who are exploring the wide-ranging impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic and looking for solutions.
Our virtual hub connects research teams with each other and with user groups and decision-makers. Our aim is to ensure that expertise and resources are shared and that decisions about how best to tackle the pandemic and its aftermath is informed by relevant research on culture, society, law, Arts and health.
Our work is funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council.
