The purpose of this site is to help foster an open, global collaborative research and participation effort into multiple aspects of the global coronavirus crisis, in areas such as scientific research and development, social science, politics, and art. We can together explore life and survival in a time of COVID.
Our premise is that the world has myriad COVID-19 efforts, but that many are private, and separate, and that a set of open, common, collective efforts, open to the world, characterized by open knowledge and sharing, may be of use, and create more rapid and robust progress.
We will attempt to highlight the various open projects ongoing in the world.
The organizers and partners to date include the Open Source Pharma Foundation (Bangalore/Paris/New York) and movement, CRI (Paris), and Just One Giant Lab (Paris).

Scientific Research
While there are an abundance of extraordinary research efforts ongoing into COVID-19, many of them are private, and separate. A shared global approach, tapping into the collective intelligence of minds from across the world, with rapid sharing and commentary, may yield rapid and robust progress.
This site assembles in one place many of the critical open research resources concerning COVID-19, beginning, critically, with the virus genome rapidly and courageously posted by scientists in China in January 2020.
We also experiment with a theme of massive open online research (MOOR), drawing inspiration from the book Reinventing Discovery: The Age of Networked Science, Michael Nielson (Princeton Univ. Press, 2013), GitHub, and other sources. Our initial areas of emphasis are on the repurposing of off-patent drugs, and the development of low cost diagnostic kits under open source type arrangements. But this is a bottom up and experimental approach, and we will see what emerges and blossoms.
The hope is that with many eyes, this virus will be shallow.
