Within PANDEMRIC, the Institute for Transnational and Euregional cooperation and mobility / ITEM carries out a number of studies on a wide range of subjects. In particular, ITEM explores the cooperation agreements and procedures and protocols of EMRIC. The final reports will contain an analysis of legislation, policy and practice, including recommendations on ways to structure crisis and emergency cooperation across borders, as well as public procurement. ITEM studies the administrative and procedural burdens on enabling medical staff to easily work across borders. By offering their cross-border expertise, ITEM researchers contribute to strengthening euregional cooperation during a major health crisis.
