Analysis of the interdisciplinarity present in the framework of the COVID-19 emergency in Uruguay.

Uruguay managed to get around the first stage of the health crisis imposed by COVID-19 quite successfully, a complex problem that can be analyzed from an interdisciplinary approach. Two events, linked to academic activity, were fundamental for its containment: the health authorities sought the support of the local academy and there was a rapid response from the scientific community to increase analytical capacities and epidemiological surveillance. This work analyzes the actors linked to different existing or new academic structures, and the interdisciplinary actions and dynamics, in the emergency due to COVID-19 in Uruguay, during the first quarter of the health emergency.
