Infectious Diseases Toolkit (IDTk) Contentathon 2024

27 May 2024

BY-COVID Event

When: Monday, 27th - 30th of May 2024

Location: Rooms Epsilon and Sigma, Hotel Olümpia, Tallinn, Estonia

Main organisers: Hedi Peterson, Rafael Andrade Buono


BeYond-COVID (BY-COVID) project collects comprehensive open data on SARS-CoV-2 and other infectious diseases across scientific, medical, public health and policy domains.

Into the Infectious Disease Toolkit (IDTk), we gather knowledge we wish we had when the pandemic hit us in the spring of 2020.

At the contentathon participants will contribute to writing guidelines for data handling, analysis and visualisations in the context of infectious diseases. We gather knowledge into the following subsections of IDTkit - attributing credit, data analysis, data communication, data description, data sources, ethical legal and social issues, provenance, and quality control. Additionally, applied examples are part of the showcases and country-specific examples form national resources.

Goal:

  • Provide content to the pages that are still missing information.
  • Write up more use cases; finish up the pages as much as possible.
  • Prepare the paper about IDTkit.

Practicalities: Participants need to cover their own travel expenses, but local costs will be covered by the organisers (hotel room and food, except for one dinner in town).

Please find the link to register below.

Deadline for registration: 10th May 2024 or earlier if places get full.
