Projects of Science and innovation against COVID-19 in Spain

Spanish science and innovation are developing multiple projects to alleviate the health emergency caused by COVID-19. Research centers and innovative companies throughout Spain have received public funding and private donations to carry out R&D&I projects on the SARS-CoV-2 virus and the disease it causes.

Science and innovation try to give a comprehensive response to COVID-19 from different approaches. In the field of research, we highlight the actions in tests and programs of knowledge of the virus, research on the immune response, studies on the biology and behavior of the virus, the search for possible drugs, the stratification of patients according to the prognosis of the disease and the search for new public health solutions to improve the control of the pandemic. On the other hand, business projects that develop products aimed at preventing and mitigating COVID-19 have also been encouraged.
