The program aims to support Lebanese University researchers and encourage them to submit proposals and innovations that would give practical and sustainable solutions to fight Coronavirus, or contribute to limiting its spread and mitigating its societal impacts at all levels (health, industrial, economic, social, etc.).
The program provides the project requirements in terms of operational needs, consumables and small equipment, in addition to the cost of labor to be used and the cost of using joint research services platforms.
