Economic transition into the “new normal”

As lockdowns across Europe have started to be lifted cautiously and progressively, the focus of our collective attention is shifting towards economic recovery.

How can international organisations help countries adapt to the new normal? What role do research and innovation in fields such as connectivity and other cutting-edge technology play in this context? And what are the pitfalls we will need to avoid?
