About us
Why this portal?
The goal of the Portal is to showcase and highlight COVID-19 research data produced in Italy. We think that compliance with Open Data and Open Science principles need to be disseminated and promoted among Italian biomedical researchers. We hope the Portal can help toward this goal for COVID-19 data.
ELIXIR-IT
The Portal is curated by researchers from several Italian Universities and Research and Technological institutions, members of ELIXIR-IT.
ELIXIR-IT is the Italian Node of ELIXIR, the European infrastructure for bioinformatics and biological data. ELIXIR-IT is coordinated by the National Research Council (CNR) and is joined by 23 among the most important Universities and Research and Technological institutions in the country.
If you wish to learn more about ELIXIR-IT you can read this brochure, look at our ELIXIR-IT site (currently under refurbishing!) or check our page on the ELIXIR web site.
