SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19

A new virus and associated respiratory disease

Springer Nature is committed to supporting the global response to COVID-19 by enabling fast and direct access to the latest available research, evidence, and data.

The need for continued access to research and learning has never been more important. We recognise our role in this and are committed to ensuring we are working with global organisations, such as the World Health Organisation and the initiative from the White House Office of Science and Technology to make all relevant global research, and data, immediately available. We also continue to work directly with our community to support teachers, lecturers, librarians, students and institutions in their work. Our CEO, Frank Vrancken Peeters talks more about our response to COVID-19.
