Project Athena

At project Athena, volunteers join forces to fight the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Instead of plenty of individuals doing similar work over and over again, we focus our efforts to create real impact! We deliver actionable insights and built digital products that will bring SARS-CoV-2 down.You can join us via Slack:https://join.slack.com/t/projectathenaco/shared_invite/zt-cuthlqb8-NVXrCnmROwCMS55mOcEgvAOur missionWe bring as many people as possible together to provide facts to the public and to support decision making on how to deal with the breakout in a highly coordinated and efficient way. Actionable insights may also lead to the fast development of products that help fight the virus.Our strategies- We provide public access to high quality and daily updated data sets- We publicly share sound and validated knowledge and co-operate with other initiatives as much as we can- We form a multi-disciplinary committee consisting of researchers and data professional that guides and coordinates research and infrastructure work- We formulate hypotheses that multiple individuals or teams can work on in parallel- We provide maximum transparency on how we derive testable, scientific hypotheses. Tasks can be picked up to work on testing the hypotheses.- We encourage anybody to submit new hypotheses and to contribute to the project- We are constantly adjusting our processes to foster the highest impact possible given our scarce resources as a non-profit project
