PoliMap – Public Policies in the Fight Against the Pandemic is an international platform for mapping public policies that countries have implemented in the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic. Coordinated by Sebastián Peña, a researcher at the Finnish National Institute for Health and Welfare (THL), PoliMap is the result of an initiative by more than 50 researchers from different countries. Professor Fernanda Cimini, from the Faculty of Economic Sciences (UFMG), is responsible for the information related to Brazil. With the help of university students, the professor has already managed to map and include the main measures taken so far by the federal government.
“PoliMap is an open, transnational, and multidisciplinary platform. Therefore, any contribution from Brazilian researchers to review or collaborate with what we are putting on it is welcome, especially if this collaboration can cover something that is still in my team's blind spot,” says Fernanda Cimini.
