International cooperation is required to fight a global pandemic. Models are especially critical for anticipating and limiting the impacts of a pandemic. CoMSES Net has joined with many other modeling science organizations around the world to publish an open letter in Science, calling on our colleagues to please share your expertise, insights, and model code on open, FAIR aligned repositories. You can publish your model for international access in the CoMSES Model Library and receive a DOI for your model after it passes peer review. For a list of COVID-19 related models, you can try using this search over our model library.

We have also created a special discussion forum to discuss modeling the coronavirus and its impacts and are maintaining a curated list of COVID-19 modeling resources. Please contact the CoMSES Net team if you have any questions, concerns, or feedback. Be safe and stay well.

ESSA and JASSS have published an editorial describing issues related to modeling and COVID-19 in greater detail: Computational Models That Matter During a Global Pandemic Outbreak: A Call to Action
