Jesuit universities in Spain continue to add initiatives to alleviate the consequences of the Pandemic. From job counselling for the most vulnerable people, the search for a vaccine and the study of the infected population thanks to the Big Data. 

One of these initiatives is that which has brought together the legal clinics of ten universities throughout Spain to produce a guide that provides understandable answers to legal problems that arise during the crisis. And thus bring the law closer to those who suffer the consequences of the COVID-19 but are unaware of the keys to understanding the legal implications of the situation. The Jesuit universities of Madrid (Comillas) and Bilbao (Deusto) are participating in this initiative. In addition to professors, 44 students are taking part.

For its part, the Jesuit faculty IQS participates in the CoviNanoVax project, led by two professors from its Department of Bioengineering, which investigates the development of a vaccine against the coronavirus in order to vaccinate the healthy population. This project has obtained funding in the call for research projects on SARS-CoV-2 and COVID19 promoted by the Ministry of Science and Innovation and the Carlos III Institute of Health of Spain.

And the Institute for Technological Research (IIT) at Comillas ICAI is collaborating with the medical company Savana on the first international study based on Big Data, Artificial Intelligence and natural language processing (NLP) on patients with COVID-19. The aim of the project is to define the clinical characteristics and predictive factors for the evolution of patients with SARS-CoV-2 Given the social and economic impact of COVID-19 in most countries, the results obtained aim to improve the clinical management of patients with COVID-19 infection and to optimize the management of health resources. The study uses the latest advances in artificial intelligence, which allows for the automatic extraction of aggregate information from the texts of anonymized electronic medical records.
