E3 Excellence in Pandemic Response and Enterprise Solutions

The E3 project wants to harness modern science and technology to create effective countermeasures to prevent the spreading of novel infectious diseases.

The diversity of countermeasures is key to fighting pandemics. Finding effective protection strategies towards pandemics, and infectious diseases in general, requires a multidisciplinary approach and close co-operation between different specialists, like medical doctors and engineers.

Research Aim

E3 aims to improve “indoor health safety”, which covers three main topics of indoor air quality problems.

Indoor air problems due to sick buildings (sick building syndrome)
Spreading of pathogens from human to human
Indoor problems due to outdoor air pollution

Goal

The aim is to have technical solutions already in place during the current pandemic and before the next pandemic emerges, there would be technological solutions available and installed in indoor environments mitigating the transmission of pathogens in spaces where people meet.

Funding source

E3 has a funding of 12 million euros from Business Finland.
