dc.description.abstract"In the days and weeks ahead, we expect to see the number of cases, the number of deaths, and the number of affected countries climb even higher. WHO has been assessing this outbreak around the clock and we are deeply concerned both by the alarming levels of spread and severity, and by the alarming levels of inaction. We have therefore made the assessment that COVID-19 can be char- acterized as a pandemic. Pandemic is not a word to use lightly or carelessly. [..] We have never before seen a pandemic sparked by a coronavirus. This is the first pandemic caused by a coronavirus and we have never before seen a pandemic that can be controlled, at the same time." With these words (March 2020), the COVID-19 pan- demic was declared by the Director-General of the World Health Organization (WHO). In May 2020, we made the call to the innovation research commu- nity for contributions, as we wanted to capture the emergent learning as the innovation machine kicked into action to fight the emergency. We recognized the importance of documenting what was happening as it occurred, so that this and other future grand chal- lenges could be more effectively tackled. The idea was to collect case studies about how different play- ers in society were innovating to face the crisis, and for the authors to reflect on what they were learning and how this evidence could inform our academic discipline going forward.
