Our approach

The Pandemic Institute delivers the first end-to-end response to pandemics

To deliver positive societal change and impact, the Pandemic Institute adapts and translates research into practical and applicable solutions across the three pillars of impact.

The three pillars have been chosen to generate maximum societal impact for individuals, business and governments across the globe.

It is a virtual mechanism modelled on the existing Materials Innovation Factory partnership between the University of Liverpool and Unilever.
