What is Periscope?
PERISCOPE is a large-scale research project involving a consortium of 32 European institutions to investigate the social, economic, behavioural and mental health-related aspects of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The project runs for 36 months from 1 November 2020 to 31 October 2023 (Grant agreement: 101016233).
LSE is a leading partner in delivering PERISCOPE objectives. Hosted by the Firoz Lalji Institute for Africa, the wider PERISCOPE team includes LSE faculty members across the Department of Economics, Department of Anthropology, Department of Health Policy, Department of Social Policy and the LSE Behavioural Lab.
Objectives include:
- to gather data on the broad impacts of COVID-19 to develop a comprehensive, user-friendly, openly accessible COVID Atlas, which should become a reference tool for researchers and policymakers, and a dynamic source of information to disseminate to the general public;
- to perform innovative statistical analysis on the collected data, with the help of various methods including machine learning tools;
- to identify successful practices and approaches adopted at the local level, which could be scaled up at the pan-European level for a better containment of the pandemic and its related socio-economic impacts;
- to develop guidance for policymakers to enhance Europe’s preparedness for future similar events and proposed reforms in the multi-level governance of health.
