EU-funded researchers develop potential new treatment against SARS-CoV-2
European researchers have developed a promising second generation 
antibody that is effective in neutralising the SARS-CoV-2 virus and its 
variants, which could be used in both prevention and treatment of COVID-19.

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

To fight the coronavirus, the world urgently needs effective and safe 
diagnostics, treatments and vaccines - without these we all remain 
vulnerable. Thanks to the work of EU funded researchers, this new 
finding could prevent and treat cases of COVID-19, ultimately saving lives.

Success stories
Twinning boosts excellence in cancer research

If countries can't train high-quality research staff, they will struggle 
to deliver innovative cancer treatments. An EU-funded project enabled 
four academic institutions to exchange staff and share best practices, 
resulting in various career advancements and successful research grant 
applications. These will benefit citizens through the researchers' 
expanding skills to advance cancer treatments.

Water in a loop: how to combat water scarcity on remote islands

Every summer, thousands of tourists travel to Greece’s idyllic islands 
to enjoy their sunny beaches. Even the global pandemic couldn’t keep 
visitors away, but water scarcity might. Many Greek islands survive on 
water imports and are struggling to meet residents’ and agriculture’s 
water needs – let alone those of tourists.
