Welcome!
The CIC invites students of all academic backgrounds and varying research experience to join the CIC Student Working Group. Students around the world will join a community of young professionals and researchers interested in the future of COVID-19 and ongoing pandemic research.
Join the Working Group Mailing List and Connect with Other Members on Slack
In January 2023, the first meeting of the Student Working Group hosted 20+ students from around the globe. Members discussed challenges and opportunities that students have faced during the COVID-19 pandemic and future research projects. Today, 575+ student members of the Working Group meet monthly to share experiences, ideas, and resources, including ways to collaborate and support one another.

In February 2024, the CIC Student Working group launched the Analyzing Pandemic Responses (APR) project: a data science education program focused on COVID-19 and worldwide pandemic response policies. Working Group members developed independent research projects using data provided by the Oxford Covid-19 Government Response Tracker (OxCGRT). Students learned time series analysis, machine learning, and geospatial mapping.
Examples of the final projects submitted to the CIC in April 2024 can be found below. Congratulations to all participants!
An asynchronous version of the APR project has been created for students to work on at any time. Participants will receive a certificate from the CIC Student Working Group for completed work. To get started, please sign up here.
In October 2023, the CIC Student Working group launched our first semester-long data science education project on COVID-19 Visualization. Working Group members developed independent data visualizations using tools and skills learned as a community. We learned to develop a COVID-19 research question and explored time series analysis and geospatial mapping.
Below are some examples of the final projects students submitted to the CIC. Congratulations to all participants!
