The Commission for Pandemic Governance and Inequalities [preprint]

This report is part of the EU-funded Horizon-2020 PERISCOPE project. It involved researchers at the London School of Economics (LSE), the Karolinska Institute (KI), the Federation of European Academies of Medicine (FEAM) and the Centre for European Policy Studies (CEPS). It features four reports reflecting on lessons learned about public health governance during the COVID-19 pandemic, in order to inform policy and practice recommendations. These reports have been developed through consultation with experts working across levels of governance. Our research spanned an extensive network of key figures involved in pandemic governance across Europe, including: global, EU and regional government officials (CEPS); medical professionals (FEAM); UK public health officials and leaders in the voluntary, community and social enterprise sector (VCSE) (LSE); and local officials and citizens in Sweden (KI).
