Yes, it has affected cross-border cooperation since most borders have been closed as a result of the pandemic.

Dear Ndalahwa MUSA Masanja ,

Thank you for your answer. We have continued cooperation using the Internet, but I could only partially for project activities.

this has completely changed relations, because the borders being closed, the movement of goods is difficult

Dear professor A. Kettab

Thank you for your comments

In research, I do not think that the closing of borders has had much impact. I have worked with international collaborators for years using online/video platforms. That has not changed.

I think that thanks to videoconferencing, cooperation will improve a lot?

This is a relevant question. I think it is rather the trade and the movement of individuals between the border countries that will be affected by the crisis Covid-19.

Boualem Remini

I think it affected positively.

Dear Boualem Remini ,

Thank you for your answer

Dear prof. Michael W. Marek ,

Thank you for your comments,

Dear Mundher Alsaaidi منذر السعيدي ,

Thanks for the feedback,

Dear Ali

science and ethics should be given priority.

Definitely, the covid-19 has made a huge impact on cross-border cooperation as most of the borders are closed. In Nepal and India, previously there were continuous meeting with cross border officials of both side regarding shared problems like security, livelihood, human trafficking, health. These are now totally halted.

Dear prof. Bhakta KC

Tahnk you for your comments.

In Romania Covid-19 had a huge impact on cross-border cooperation too, the borders being closed. We used the online version, but only for discussions

since the land and air borders are closed, there can be no development of cooperation.

The COVID-19 pandemic is causing major disruptions in global logistics and supply chains and in some cases preventing urgent services from arriving at destinations in time. The epidemic has forced countries to respond quickly with measures that may affect the delivery of supplies.

In the context of the current crisis of COVID-19, the transparency of country response measures to the COVID-19 system that affects commodity flows and the escorts of transport personnel crossing borders is crucial to ensuring that global supply chains operate with the greatest predictability.

I think Covid-19 has just accelerated a bit the FUTURE! this is in terms of opportunities and new means of cooperation.

Dear Silvius Stanciu , the post-pandemic world will witness major changes mainly when it comes to open-borders policies. The nation state was going back even before, the rise of the right wing parties was into it.

The SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus (pandemic Covid-19) pandemic is a serious epidemiological problem on a global scale. Therefore, international cooperation is necessary to solve such problems. In the situation of the global serious problem of the SARS-CoV-2 Coronavirus pandemic causing Covid-19 disease, international cooperation is necessary in many aspects, including research, rapid dissemination of key information, etc. A particularly important role in the rapid spread of information is currently played by new globally working internet media. The SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus pandemic that causes Covid-19 disease generates global crises and is generally global in nature. In order to effectively limit the development of a pandemic, individual countries should cooperate with each other, exchange experiences from the process of limiting the development of a pandemic, should provide information from conducted research, etc. On the other hand, developing countries, countries of the Southern Hemisphere may have less financial resources allocated for actions preventive, for improving security systems, for conducting scientific research compared to highly developed countries, Northern Hemisphere countries. However, according to data on the development of the SARS-CoV-2 Coronavirus epidemic in individual countries, the most important, most effective are traditional security measures and procedures, such as recommendations for home quarantine, so that the development of the SARS-CoV-2 Coronavirus pandemic is significantly limited and slowed down. These types of security procedures and recommendations due to their elemental nature are used in various countries, both in developed and developing countries. Therefore, such elements of prevention and security systems and instruments are global. In many countries anti-pandemic and sanitary safety measures and instruments (e.g. home quarantine, restrictions on movement in public places, wearing protective masks, frequent hand disinfection, etc.) used to limit the development of the SARS-CoV-2 Coronavirus pandemic are similar, very similar but used on a different scale, at other stages of the development of a pandemic, etc., so the effects of the measures used should also be similar. In addition, the SARS-CoV-2 Coronavirus pandemic in many respects, despite the strong decline in tourist services and temporary restrictions on travel abroad, is global. Among other things, the economic impact will be largely international and global. One of the important elements of this globalization are e.g. analogous reactions of investors operating on financial markets in individual countries. In addition, on an international scale, information is exchanged regarding e.g. the effects of security measures used to limit the development of the SARS-CoV-2 Coronavirus pandemic and anti-crisis programs, to limit the negative effects of the development of a pandemic in the economy on the functioning of economic entities, industries and sectors of the economy, individual markets , to limit the scale of the economic crisis, the possible possibility of an economic recession. Thanks to information globalization, the achievements of individual countries in these activities improve the security of citizens and interventionist anti-crisis economic policy programs. May the problem of the SARS-CoV-2 Coronavirus pandemic end in all countries of the world as soon as possible. I believe that thanks to international cooperation this will happen faster than if it had not been for this cooperation.

Face to face interaction is crucial sometimes! Virtual and video conferencing have solved part of the problem but it is not really always up to everyone’s expectations and does not meet all the needs.

in life, often negative things bring very positive things later.

in life, often negative things bring very positive things later. maybe it will bring more peace to the world?

In my case, my projects continued. And I initiated new ones - for instance, I'm currently conducting a survey on coping strategies with Covid-19 (http://covid-19-coping.uni.lu/) and would be grateful for broad participation.

Silvius Stanciu I think that most international collaborations will continue as they don't necessarily require traveling.

Frank T. Edelmann , I agree with you most international collaborations continue to exist and they do not require travel or traveler
