Coronavirus crisis

In the past and coming weeks, we have all been living under exceptional circumstances due to the Coronavirus outbreak. “The European Commission is working around the clock to address the Coronavirus crisis. We are funding research, we are financing the development of vaccines, we support companies and people who risk losing their jobs,” said European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen. While EU response includes a restriction on non-essential travel to and within the European Union, Commissioner for Neighbourhood and Enlargement Olivér Várhely stressed on 18 March that “We will work closely together [with our Eastern partner countries] to address today’s challenges across the board, including the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.”

Despite the circumstances, EU4Digital is still working on delivering its results: while face to face events and meetings currently cannot take place, online work continues, including meetings and workshops. Today’s situation demonstrates the vital importance of digital networks and solutions for the wellbeing of citizens and the resilience of countries.
