„Psychosocial resources, (...), are strategic to enable people to cope with the pandemic and, hopefully, to make the pandemic into a chance to learn, in the perspective of the development of a more inclusive and reflexive society. This means that institutions should consider the promotion of the psychosocial resources a strategic aim of their action, no different from the central importance they place on the promotion of economic, infrastructural, technologic and institutional resources. and it means also that scholars of the many facets involved in the mind-society interplay have the historical task and opportunity to provide a contribution in this direction.”

"Global catastrophes change the world, and this pandemic is very much akin to a major war. Even if we contain the Covid-19 crisis within a few months, the legacy of this pandemic will live with us for years, perhaps decades to come. It will change the way we move, build, learn, and connect. There is simply no way that our lives will resume as if this had never happened. And so, while it may feel good in the moment, it is foolish to dive into a frenzy of activity or obsess about your scholarly productivity right now. That is denial and delusion. The emotionally and spiritually sane response is to prepare to be forever changed."
