PERISCOPE participated in the online seminar “Empowering R&I Collaboration to Respond to the Socio-economic Challenges of the Coronavirus Pandemic".

The European Commission hosted the online seminar “Empowering R&I Collaboration to Respond to the Socio-economic Challenges of the Coronavirus Pandemic”, encouraging global scientific communities to attend the free event.

Participants, including R&I projects, organisations and individual researchers, engaged in COVID-19 related research, were invited to network and engage in a discussion around collaboration channels as well as barriers to collaboration.

Event participants were presented with the newly launched Coronavirus Global R&I Collaboration Portal in support of scientific collaboration to address the socio-economic aspects of the global pandemic. Attending speakers will share valuable insights on the EU’s R&I response to the Coronavirus pandemic, calls and funded projects, as well as new initiatives.

This seminar aimed to help strengthening global collaboration in research and innovation and tackle the socio-economic challenges caused by the Coronavirus pandemic.
