Quote 	
	

EU-funded research and innovation is a key part of our response to the 
COVID-19 pandemic, but, at the same time, we are not neglecting other 
vital issues for our health and well-being. The EU has a crucial role to 
play through the scale of investments, including in key European 
research infrastructures, its attention to major challenges, such as 
cancer, antimicrobial resistance and environmental impacts on health, 
the coordination of national efforts and international collaboration.
