Coronavirus: Commission boosts urgently needed research and innovation with additional €122 million – Horizon 2020 – European Commission

The Commission has mobilised another €122 million from its research and innovation programme, Horizon 2020, for urgently needed research into the coronavirus. The new call for expressions of interest complements earlier actions to develop diagnostics, treatments and vaccines by strengthening capacity to manufacture and deploying readily available solutions in order to rapidly address the pressing needs. It will also improve understanding of behavioural and socio-economic impacts of the epidemic.
