ReDesign Europe - Post-Pandemic Paradigm Change in EU Law
This project aims to respond to the vacuum of sound legal rules and principles into which decision-makers risk to sink while developing constructive trajectories for the post-pandemic crisis legislation. Such vacuum places significant risks to the legal frameworks that have governed our societies in the context of European integration, under the changes prompted by reactions to the crisis
Moving in the new reality, a mobility web portal to advise national and international travel
With more countries gradually lifting mobility restrictions and opening borders after lockdown, it has become more complicated know to decide whether travel is allowed and safe and which restrictions are still in place. We aim to build a web portal sourced from government and official sources where users can safely inform themselves about the possibilities of travel. Our target is to help with: - Encouraging travel within the established restrictions - Discouraging travel with lack of knowledge: Reducing risks, border congestions, deportations, forced quarantines and unnecessary ...
Compulsory health training for future pandemics
One of the key challenges that many countries, particularly Luxembourg, is facing during the pandemic is the shortage of health practitioners. Without a doubt being trained in health practice has lots of restrictions, rules, and regulations as it is concerned with lives of human beings. Nevertheless, what I'm suggesting here needs lots of refinement and consultations with health experts/professionals to draw out a final applicable solution. The basic idea is that since this pandemic, as many politicians have put it out, is a war against humanity, I'm suggesting that we prepare our citizens ...
DECORUM: Distribution of ECOnomic impacts and Recovery Under covid19 induced Market restrictions
Given the sudden disruption in market activity arising from quarantine of labour due to the covid19 pandemic, it is imperative to investigate the economic impacts and the possible means of a speedy recovery. The disruption of national and global supply chains has had an impact on the demand. Certain products have seen a surge in demand (especially necessities and medical supplies) while other commodities have dropped out of reckoning as they are relatively lower in the priority list in this meltdown. It is of paramount importance to keep economic activity operating to ensure the welfare of ...
Effect of the Pandemic on Air and Maritime traffic and the Atmosphere (EPAMA)
We will use existing databases to study the effect of the Covid-19 pandemic onto air and maritime traffic and consequently onto the atmosphere. Through this, the socio-economic and environmental impact of the disease can be better understood. This help to prepare for the future. In addition, it helps to understand what impact traffic has onto the atmosphere.
Mobile people in times of enforced immobility - Strategies of coping with COVID 19 confinement am...
Covid-19 has changed the mobility reality of (young) people as international borders have been closed. The COVID-19 crisis suddenly introduces words like 'confinement', 'quarantine' and 'self-isolation' does not limit only freedom of movement particularly for those who have not experienced strict border management controls in their life time. The aim of this project is to understand how young mobile people (18-30 years old) experience this period of confinement and how it impacts on their communicational and social behavior. The contrary of enforced immobility and a mobile live are in the m...
Perceived economic vulnerability and intra-household behaviour adjustment (ADJUST)
The project ADJUST aims at mapping and analysing the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic and accompanying quarantine measures on social inequalities in Luxembourg. Theoretically, it seeks to advance the international research agenda in response to the pandemic by particularly scrutinising its short- and medium-term effects on social inequalities on the micro level, i.e. on individuals and households. It particularly focuses on strategies developed within the households in order to contain vulnerability, and their societal implications. The overall hypothesis is that pandemic leads to the reorga...
Nonperforming mortgage loans in Luxembourg and the EU during and after the COVID-19 crisis
Luxembourg is one of the countries with the highest household leveraging on private debt and mortgage loans. Important for financial stability the economy is to examine the extent to which the number of households that have not been able to service their mortgages has increased, as a result of the COVID-19 lockdowns and production disruptions. An important part of the problem is to study the extent to which banks in Luxembourg and the EU face a risk of increased nonperforming loans. If there is a problem with increased nonperforming loans, then one should examine policies that can tackle th...
