European Alliance Against Coronavirus (EAAC) – a high level expert group created to find solutions for the COVID-19 crisis

The European Clusters Alliance brought clusters, universities, companies, and social economy stakeholders to form a high level expert group, which counts with close links to the European Commission: the European Alliance Against Coronavirus (EAAC). So far the alliance has discussed various COVID-related topics in 70 videoconferences, covering prototyping of respirators and 3D printing, public procurement, economic and social impacts, exit strategy, homologation, social economy, or ICT solutions. Its strength is the gathering of multi-level competences and knowledge – as its members offer their cross-sectoral contributions from all over Europe.

At present, the group has shifted the topics of their daily meetings to the identification of disrupted value and supply chains in Europe´s economy, with the countries turning their focus to the economic recovery.

EAAC is open to everyone: to industrial clusters, social economy actors, companies, and public authorities. Everybody is welcome to participate in the meetings to talk about the challenges they encounter in their ecosystems.
