The European Union and its partners launched a coronavirus global response effort on 4 May.
The aim of the campaign is to raise €7.5bn to develop diagnostics, treatments and vaccines and deploy them to every corner of the world at an affordable price.
What can YOU do?
Help to spread the word about the role of research and innovation in the initiative. We need to raise awareness about the need for fair and equal access to diagnostics, treatments and vaccines against the coronavirus.
Together, let’s stop the virus and protect people.
