Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic brought about a devastating economic and social disruption. The virus outbreak was possibly triggered in Wuhan, in the Chinese province of Hubei. In a few weeks it escalated to a global pandemic. In an intensely connected global economy the disease left contractions in demand and supply. Consumer and organisational purchasing patterns were distorted and created market anomalies. The global financial markets plunged. The restricted mobility among countries slowed drastically the global economic activities, especially in territories whose main source of revenue is related to tourism. In this context, a consortium of ten partners from nine European countries embarked on a collaborative research project, funded by EIT Climate-KIC. The project aims to provide policymakers and decision-makers with an innovative qualitative research tool that will aid a resilient recovery from COVID-19. Complex challenges, such as the COVID pandemic, require a systems approach to decision-making rather than linear models of decision-making.
