PANDEM-2 European COVID-19 training data set

The PANDEM-2 COVID-19 European training dataset is a large collection of time series either of real or realistic synthetic (generated) data and indicators associated with the European pandemic response to the COVID-19 pandemic. It is intended to be used for training in pandemic management.

This dataset is the result of a data gathering requirement process for pandemic management involving feedback and inputs from several public health and first responder professionals as well as researchers and military personnel directly involved in the European COVID-19 pandemic response. This work is part of the PANDEM-2 project funded by the Horizon 2020 Secure Societies program. To collect this data, an open source software was developed named PANDEM-Source allowing reproducibility and customisation of this dataset. 

The dataset includes indicators for cases, deaths, hospitalisation, testing and laboratory data including pathogen genomic information, vaccination, non-pharmaceutical interventions, participatory surveillance, social media, flights resources (human and material such as beds or vaccines), and contact tracing activities. When no open available data was found, realistic synthetic data and indicators were generated with the goal of producing a data set to be used for pandemic management  training. 

The project received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation programme under the Grant Agreement No. 883285.
