Digital and Computational Approaches to Study Determinants and Consequences of the Spread of COVID-19

IUSSP
Webinar with Registration, July 08, 2020

What can Digital and Computational approaches reveal about the relationships between mortality, fertility, mobility, and the spread of COVID-19? Three of our researchers taking part in this webinar organized by the IUSSP Panel on Digital Demography and answer this question in short lightning talks.

Through focused lighting talks, an expert panel of computational scientists tackles issues that include running Facebook surveys to study reproductive health, behavioral change and trust, as well as using digital trace data to understand misinformation, patterns of spatial mobility and their impact on infections and on mortality. This webinar is organized by the IUSSP Panel on Digital Demography.

The format will be a series of lightning talks (6 minutes each), followed by general discussion and Q&A.
