<p>The aim of the project is to implement a participatory process of public policy preparation in key areas in response to the COVID19 pandemic. The project will focus on the analysis of further development and adaptation of society to the effects of the pandemic. By involving researchers and innovators from different fields, the applicant identifies the main challenges, changes that will affect post-pandemic developments in society, the economy and everyday life. Subsequently, recommendations for reforms and policies in the given areas will be formulated. The project represents a unique opportunity to create a comprehensive set of recommendations and proposals that should be taken into account in post-pandemic development when formulating policies and setting up recovery and adaptation processes. The outputs of the project will be available and will form the expert basis for public discussion and decision-making by political representatives in the coming years. The prepared methodology, as well as the experience of the project, will be possible to use even after the end of the pandemic. The project also aims to gain insight into the likely social and economic development in the Slovak Republic in the next decade, based on the opinions of researchers and innovators, and thus provide policy makers with an expert view of potential further developments. Researchers' expertise is already helping to address the pandemic in a significant way. The project reflects the needs of the following target groups:<br> - Public policy makers to provide decision-making from excellent researchers.<br> - Public administration at all levels, which will use the outputs in the formulation and implementation of public policies.<br> - Researchers and innovators who will be involved in the process and provide their expert opinion.<br> - Civil society to engage in a public debate on the necessary changes and reforms.
