![Coronavirus: Implications for the EU [What Think Tanks are thinking]](https://i0.wp.com/epthinktank.eu/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/eprs_brie_tt_649400-coronavirus-final.jpeg?fit=1024%2C682&ssl=1)
Written by Marcin Grajewski,
The coronavirus pandemic poses a serious challenge to the European Union, arguably testing at once its solidarity, resilience, capacity and even relevance. Some analysts see the current crisis as an ‘existential’ threat to the Union, whilst others sense it to be a significant opportunity to assert the need for collective solutions and to build greater systemic strength for the future. A lively debate has broken out among thinkers and commentators about the implications of the crisis for the future of European integration, the policy priorities of the Union, and the capabilities and resources of its institutions.
This note offers links to recent commentaries and reports from international think tanks on the challenges of the coronavirus for the EU and related issues. The papers gathered here have all been written before the European Council video-conference of 23 April 2020.
