Descriptive, comparative, documentation and desk research methods were used. Additionally, the authors used the methods of deductive and inductive forecasting. ; FINDINGS: The authors present new partnerships undertaken by biopharma (biotech and pharma) companies (in and outside the industry) in order to face pandemic and to discover and deliver a new vaccine for SARS-CoV-2 to the market. In addition, the research projects in the European Union focused on the development of diagnostics, treatments, vaccines, epidemiology, preparedness and response to outbreaks, socioeconomics, production and digital technologies as well infrastructures and data resources that make it possible this research will be presented. ; PRACTICAL IMPLICATIONS: It should be taken into consideration that due to the current situation caused by pandemic the cooperation of companies and all entities in the whole biopharmaceutical R&D innovation ecosystem is even more challenging than before COVID19. Biopharma–university alliances can significantly increase the likelihood of creating better medical therapy for patients. ; ORIGINALITY/VALUE: Results of this cooperation enable a number of innovative projects given the significant pressure on innovativeness and challenges caused by the pandemic. ; This paper includes findings from the research project financed by the research grant of the National Science Centre (Poland) awarded based on the decision no. DEC-2015/19/D/HS4/00414 and project awarded funding from a POWER competitive national grant no. POWR.05.04.00-IP.05-00-006/18 by the Polish Ministry of Health. ; peer-reviewed

AbstractThe purpose of this paper is to investigate the causal relations between nominal exchange rates and monetary fundamentals. The analysis is conducted using panel quarterly data from the period 2001–12 for Central and Eastern European countries (including Turkey) with relatively flexible exchange rate regimes. The paper reconnects the empirical literature on exchange rates in Central and Eastern European countries with the most recent findings on exchange rate determination in advanced economies. Kóyna's approach, which accounts for linkages between countries, is used in the study. The main findings indicate the existence of causal relations running from both nominal exchange rates to monetary fundamentals and in the opposite direction as well as the existence of a relatively strong link between exchange rates and differentials in the relative price of non‐tradables.
