How does cohesion policy support research in tests, treatments and prevention?
The global coronavirus pandemic requires a global response. The world quickly needs to develop and deploy effective diagnostics, treatments and a vaccine. Without them, every country in the world remains vulnerable. Countries and organisations around the world are joining forces to ensure that not only do we develop these life-saving tools but that we ensure they are universally available and affordable. No person, country or region should be left behind.
The European Union and its partners are hosting an international pledging conference starting today, Monday 4 May 2020 (15:00 CEST) where we aim to raise €7.5 billion in initial funding to kick-start the global cooperation. You can follow the conference online: https://global-response.europa.eu/index_en
Thanks to a large number of projects all over Europe, EU cohesion policy supports research in tests, treatments and prevention as a concrete response to the coronavirus pandemic. Find out about some emblematic projects here.
