EIT Community COVID-19 pandemic response

Published: 12.5.2020

The EIT Community’s response focuses, on the one hand, on the most vulnerable beneficiary groups affected by the crisis, i.e. students, entrepreneurs (start-ups and SMEs) and innovators.

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.
