The KAUST Coronavirus Portal features the key efforts of the university to address the COVID-19 pandemic:
Rapid Research Response Team (R3T)
KAUST has assembled a team of faculty to research the COVID-19 pandemic. The group, called the Rapid Research Response Team (R3T) has already produced several publications on COVID-19:
As the Rapid Research Response Team continues its research, more publications will be announced and shared with the global scientific community. You can search the KAUST Repository for these papers as they are written and shared with the world.
COVID Compass
The COVID Compass is an international effort joined by KAUST scientists to publish a global data dashboard on the COVID-19 pandemic.
The main objective of the COVID Compass is to "develop a real-time data dashboard that maps the most critical trends, events and impacts around the world in an easy-to-digest format with robust, timely data on a platform that is nimble and scalable and uses AI-drive sentiment analysis, trend modeling and real-time media monitoring."
