Abstract:
The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (COVID-19), declared by
the World Health Organization on March 11, 2020 as a pandemic, does not represent
only a health crisis but a crisis that affects the daily lives of humans around the world, all
economic sectors and knowledge production. Our article seeks to demonstrate the
impact of the COVID-19 health crisis on the production of knowledge, in the case of a
knowledge society. The methodology adopted in our study is form first on the choice of
the knowledge society based on the ranking of the Global Knowledge Index (GKI)
relating to the year 2019, then the analysis of the variable inputs of the production of the
knowledge: the production of knowledge workers, research and development
expenditure, and knowledge institutions. Preliminary results show the impact of the
COVID-19 health crisis on them. The originality of this article lies in the study of the
situation of knowledge production, little covered in recent studies, in this case in the
context of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Keywords: COVID-19, Knowledge production, Knowledge society.
