Research and Innovation Ministers from all 27 EU Member States have supported 10 priority actions of the ERAvsCorona Action Plan.

Building on the overall objectives and the tools of the European Research Area (ERA), the Action Plan covers short-term actions based on close coordination, cooperation, data sharing and joint funding efforts between the Commission and the Member States.

It is centred on the key principles of the European Research Area, which will now be used to achieve their maximum effect to help researchers and EU Member States succeed in their fight against the coronavirus pandemic.
