Welcome to our investigation to assess the scope of the EU’s responses to the COVID-19 pandemic in providing financing and investment opportunities to improve the business environment, research, and innovation. The survey focuses on the case study of an EU member State (Slovenia, who is engaged in supporting the enlargement process in the Western Balkans) and of three extra-EU States involved in the EU accession process (Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, and Serbia). A main questionnaire is addressed to relevant stakeholders dealing with the management and use of EU covid-support measures. Two following sections of the questionnaire are dedicated to SMEs (Small and Medium-Size Enterprises) and University/Research actors.
This is an initiative within the framework of the research project “The principle of inter-state solidarity across the transformative dimensions of European membership. Testing first experiments and operational models to face the Covid-19 pandemic crisis” by Maria Manuela Pappalardo, fellow grantee at the Law Department of the University of Catania.
