CODE – Coupling Opinion Dynamics with Epidemics

Coordinator Stefano Guarino CNR

CREF Referrer: Fabio Saracco

Partner Marco Brambilla, Politecnico di Milano

Project Code: P2022AKRZ9

The CODE (Coupling Opinion Dynamics with Epidemics) project aims to investigate the coupling between virtual interactions, leading to opinion formation, and physical interactions, which cause the spreading of epidemics. We will implement an efficient and scalable open-source tool to simulate the spread of infectious diseases in a large-scale geo-localized population and generate alternative counterfactual scenarios. The tool will be made available to policy-makers and stakeholders interested in evaluating the combined impact of mitigation interventions and (dis)information campaigns.
