Humankind is living more than a year in a COVID-19 pandemic. Faced with this international health emergency situation, scientific research is a tool to combat it. Universities, which must contribute human knowledge, are called upon to do research to combat COVID-19 in different aspects. This work analyses which Peruvian universities have contributed the most to developing projects and publications related to COVID-19. The results show that it is mainly the universities in the capital, Lima, that have won funds from the government to develop projects.
