Nuria Oliver’s talk describes how to put in place a successful team that uses data-driven methods to assist in better decision making for the COVID-19 pandemic. She presents the structure of her team and how they perform mobile data analysis, epidemiological modelling and analysis of other data sources with the overall aim of gaining evidence from data to inform policymakers in Spain.  Moreover, Nuria highlights the Covid19ImpactSurvey, which was put in place to collect additional information about social contact behaviour, economic and labour impact and the prevalence of symptoms during the epidemic.
