European COVID-19 initiatives
The EU has launched several research initiatives related to COVID-19 in Horizon 2020 Programme
With the help of experts in our community we have collected relevant links to official publications and scientific articles.
As coronavirus disease continues to be a major global issue, adequate support and continuous treatment must be ensured, also in the area of digestive health. In this section we provide you with a selection of relevant UEG and external resources on this topic. Updates and new articles will be added as they become available.
