The ‘Joint UNIversities Pandemic and Epidemiological Research’ (JUNIPER) consortium will develop and using bespoke models to provide predictions and estimates on key questions about the COVID-19 pandemic. These results feed regularly into SPI-M, the modelling group that provides evidence to the Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies (SAGE) and the wider UK government.
