Having activated robust business continuity measures, the EIT Communities are delivering a flexible response to the crisis. It has mobilised a crisis mechanism to respond to the significant challenges faced since the majority of activities have been directly impacted.

EIT prepared the early release of EUR 100 million for ailing innovators as a crisis response measure.
