Whether in terms of managing the COVID-19 crisis, solutions for exiting the crisis or recommendations to promote recovery, the CIRANO community has mobilized to help governments and its partners in their decision-making.
CIRANO has created this site dedicated to COVID-19, which lists all the publications, communications and tools produced by its researchers for the scientific community, its partners and the general public. Do not hesitate to visit it regularly, as it will be improved over the next few days as the situation evolves.
A special COVID-19 committee of experts has been set up to respond to the requests received and to suggest recommendations around 6 major projects: (1) Health, (2) Education, (3) Employment, (4) Economy, (5) Public Finance and (6) Role of the State. In such a context, expert advice is crucial and our research teams are working hard to help make informed decisions. The CIRANO researchers appointed to this special committee are for the most part principal investigators of our major areas of expertise and/or cluster leaders.
The mobilization of our researchers and fellows is reflected in the number of CIRANO publications related to COVID-19. In addition, we have launched the new Perspectives/Insights series of short articles to enable our researchers to convey informed opinions on various issues. CIRANO researchers are also very present in the media.
In these times of crisis, "Knowledge Into Action" takes on even more meaning. Discover the contributions of CIRANO researchers and fellows to assist in decision-making in this unprecedented context of COVID-19!
