Universities and research institutes in Europe and across the world are facing new challenges and disruption which are affected by the COVID19 outbreak. But these institutions are also working very hard to find out how the disease can be stopped and its impact alleviated. Science, Research and Innovation are at the frontline of the fight against the spread of COVID-19 but as our CIVIS President, Prof. Astrid Söderbergh Widding said, a strong network and collaboration between universities are at the utmost importance as this global crisis cannot be tackled alone. Open science will definitely play an important role in the future which is at the core of the CIVIS initiative strategy.

As civic universities, our CIVIS member universities are working closely with our cities, regions and national bodies to better tackle this crisis and help our scientific communities through the development of research projects and initiatives.
