Blockchain and Pandemics
The BRIE has launched a series of research initiatives on topics related to the pandemic, public health, and the economic recovery. The results will be delivered to our members through a collection of reports, webinars, videos, infographics, and datasets over the next months. However, given the urgency of taking action on our recommendations now, many of these results will be made available to the public here.

Supply Chain, Manufacturing & Transportation
How can blockchain create more flexible, adaptive, and transparent supply chains to manage distorted demand, hoarding practices, and increased online purchases?

Self-Sovereign Identity
COVID-19 is a data problem, and an integral piece to solving this problem is the creation of a self-sovereign identity system. Our reports on blockchain-based identity systems and higher education dive into the concept of creating a digital wallet network to store and share individual identity data, within a consent architecture that provides the framework for an individual to own their data and consent to its use.
