SUMMARY:The Role of Data in the COVID-19 Pandemic
DESCRIPTION: Data is critical to understanding the COVID-19 pandemic. When 
 tracking the spread of SARS-CoV-2, there is a strong focus on epidemiologic
 al data such as aggregated case numbers and the reproduction rate. Modeling
  can help understand disease dynamics and make predictions about the future
  course of the pandemic, and assess policy interventions by also taking int
 o account clinical, serological, and demographic data. In public debate, ch
 aracteristics such as sensitivity and specificity of PCR and antigen tests 
 have attracted attention, while levels of efficacy and the statistical asse
 ssment of side effects are in the center of discussions on vaccines.\n\nThi
 s Leopoldina International Virtual Panel will explore how data can help to 
 support the containment of the COVID-19 pandemic. By taking into account in
 ternational experiences in collecting, comparing, and understanding pandemi
 c data, the Panel will discuss benefits and limits of data in informing pub
 lic health responses as well as opportunities to increase preparedness for 
 international health emergencies in the future.\n\nThe Leopoldina will welc
 ome the following experts to the podium:\n\nSimon Cauchemez, PhD, Head of t
 he Mathematical Modelling of Infectious Diseases Unit, Institut Pasteur, Pa

 ist Rebecca Winkels, Director of Communications and Strategy at Wissenschaf
 t im Dialog, and is part of the Leopoldina International Virtual Panel Seri
 es.\n\nIn July 2020, the Leopoldina launched a virtual format for global sc
