EP plenary session.- Social and employment crisis in the COVID-19 pandemic and the EU's response in the Recovery Plan and the MFF

COVID-19, like previous epidemics infect and affect men, women and other genders differently. Whilst indications suggest that more men than women are dying of COVID-19, the impact of the (short and longer term) socio-economic effects of COVID-19 fall disproportionately on women. This infoclip shows different professions carried out by women who have suffered directly or indirectly from the consequences of the coronavirus epidemic: care workers, nurses, laboratory assistant, department store cashier, market gardeners, collective catering staff, staff in charge of cleaning and disinfection, teachers and a mother doing home schooling.

Universities have a long history in Europe, and as institutions they have evolved with the societies in which they are embedded. Today, the scope of tertiary education covers a whole range of specialisations, from the strictly academic to the vocational. Other institutions such as colleges and universities of applied science complement the educational benefits provided by universities. With the rapid pace of change in contemporary societies, the question arises as to whether tertiary education institutions have maintained their relevance to help societies respond to their needs. Higher education institutions provide both teaching and research functions with a clear impact on economies and the future of generations of young people.

EU's 'strategic autonomy' is the ability to act autonomously as well as to choose when, in which area, and if, to act with like-minded partners. The capacity to act autonomously implies both the ability to decide and to implement decisions in an autonomous manner. 'Strategic autonomy' is not about self-sufficiency but about means and tools to reduce external dependencies in areas deemed strategic and where dependencies could compromise autonomy, whilst continuing to cooperate with partners in a multilateral setting. Its effectiveness derives from the ability to achieve the expected outcome. The prerequisites for achieving an effective 'strategic autonomy' are political will, common strategic vision and the capacity to act.
