Working towards the goal of finding solutions to problems brought about by the COVID-19 crisis, the Hauts-de-France region has had four of its eleven applications to the emergency national call selected by the scientific committee for evaluation.
The region itself, in a bid to get fast results, has given financial support to two scientific projects at Lille University Hospital and the Pasteur Institute of Lille.
