History

Founded in 2021, Epiverse-TRACE enables distributed data analysis to power pandemic response. From the start, all the tools we develop are open, collaborative, and intended for real-world impact. Over 110 people contributed to 39 software releases since.

Epiverse-TRACE is part of data.org’s Epiverse initiative. In 2021, Wellcome and Rockefeller Foundation enabled London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine (LSHTM) and the Medical Research Council Unit The Gambia (MRCG) to join the initiative. In 2022, Canada’s International Development Research Centre (IDRC) joined the effort and enabled new collaborators from Latin-America and the Carribean (LAC): Universidad Javeriana and Universidad de los Andes.

Epiverse-TRACE software is used in all kinds of projects. For example, in projecting epidemics in Gaza (as covered by the New York Times).
