Tuesday 18 May was the grand finale of the accelerator programme Next Generation Water Action with exciting prizes for a number of young entrepreneurs and academics. For Grundfos and the Foundation it was also an opportunity to collaborate more deeply and each contribute toward a shared goal.

Data modelling in UPPAAL

A “weather forecast” for COVID-19

Researchers at the Department of Computer Science at Aalborg University have developed a model that predicts whether specific COVID-19 restrictions have any effect. The calculations show that the North Denmark Region would have seen appx. 10,000 more COVID-19 cases over two months if no lockdown had been implemented in November. The hope is that the model can help decision-makers worldwide make the right decisions.
