EU and Japan step up cooperation in science, technology and innovation
European and Japanese researchers and innovators will be able to join 
forces more easily on global challenges and to coordinate their efforts 
in fighting the coronavirus pandemic. Mariya Gabriel, Commissioner for 
Innovation, Research, Culture, Education and Youth, and Naokazu 
Takemoto, Minister of State for Science and Technology Policy, agreed to 
step up EU-Japan cooperation in science, technology and innovation and 
to boost the synergies between the respective research and innovation 
programmes.

Commissioner Gabriel said:

    /"/Japan is one of our key partners. I am therefore extremely happy
    to have signed, together with Minister Takemoto, this Letter of
    Intent to strengthen our existing cooperation in science, technology
    and innovation. The coronavirus crisis has shown that cooperation at
    international level in research and innovation is more than ever
    necessary, including through open access to data and results/."/

Alpacas and antibodies: How scientists hope to stop coronavirus in its 
tracks

Efforts to design a safe vaccine for Covid-19 are moving forward at full 
throttle, yet experts agree that it’s likely to be a year, at least, 
before an immunisation is ready. Meanwhile, scientists around Europe are 
exploring ingenious ways – including with the help of alpacas – to use 
the latest techniques in molecular manipulation to repair 
coronavirus-induced lung damage or to block the virus before it wreaks 
havoc.
