In March 2020, the Knowledge Exchange Unit in the Parliamentary Office of Science & Technology launched the COVID-19 outbreak database and over 5,500 experts signed up. With the launch of the House of Lords COVID-19 Committee inquiry on Life beyond COVID, a survey was sent to all of these experts to find out what implications from the COVID-19 outbreak in the next 2 to 5 years they would most want to draw to the Committee’s attention. 366 academics, including six from Bournemouth University responded.
POST have now analysed all of the responses and has summarised patterns and trends in the data under the following themes:
- Work and employment,
- Health and social care,
- Research and development,
- Society and community,
- Natural environment,
- Education,
- Economy,
- Arts, culture and sport,
- Built environment,
- Crime and justice.
