The multidisciplinary E3 Excellence in Pandemic Response and Enterprise Solutions (E3) project, which focuses on preventing pandemics and finding out the different routes of infectious diseases, starts publishing final results after three years of work. Among the most significant outcomes are the results from a daycare study performed in four different daycare centres in the city of Helsinki. In the daycare centres, where the air was cleaned with air purifiers, children’s morbidity decreased by 18 percent. Spinverse is part of this exciting project as a coordinator together with Tamlink.

There is now an updated version available, this time bringing nodes from the European industry.
