Abstract: This report has been prepared as part of the Lagging Regions project of the JRC, which aimed to support the implementation of Smart Specialisation Strategies in selected low-growth and less developed regions in EU Member States. In April 2020 following the onset of the COVID-19 global pandemic, a series of questions was sent to Lagging Regions partner territories in order to determine their policy responses, specifically in the context of initial European Commission initiatives such as the Coronavirus Response Investment Initiative (CRII) under Cohesion Policy. This paper collects and builds on the responses received in order to give an indication of the potential consequences of the global public health crisis on some of the least developed regions of the European Union.
