EU funded clinical trial finds new treatments to be effective against 
COVID-19
An international team of researchers has confirmed that two 
immunosuppressant drugs – tocilizumab and sarilumab –normally used to 
treat rheumatoid arthritis, significantly reduce the time spent by 
COVID-19 patients in intensive care and reduce the risk of death by 
almost a quarter. These findings are the result of innovative trial 
designs set up with support from the EU and other research funders.

Mariya Gabriel, Commissioner for Innovation, Research, Culture, 
Education and Youth said:

/These important new findings mean fewer deaths and shorter stays in 
intensive care, preserving hospital capacity to deal with the pandemic 
and save lives. We would not have found these treatments so quickly 
without the EU driving this truly international effort//./

Sensing module keeps watch beneath the waves

EU-funded researchers have designed a standard instrument module to 
monitor conditions in the deep sea. As part of a Europe-wide 
marine-sensing infrastructure, the modules will supply reliable 
long-term data on the state of our seas and oceans.

Q&A: ‘We need to reduce the ‘embodied energy’ of buildings

Retrofitting Europe’s buildings for energy efficiency is not enough to 
slash the carbon footprint of the construction sector and cut emissions 
in time to meet the Paris climate agreement goals, according to Dr 
Catherine De Wolf, assistant professor of design and construction 
management at TU Delft in the Netherlands.
