Without doubt, the rise of anti-microbial resistance is one of the greater challenges for the future of human and animal health. To overcome the threat of a post-antibiotic era a universal approach is needed and must operate at multiple levels between scientific, governmental and private initiatives. The current project aim to make a significant and global contribution to solve the problem of AMR.

The project also includes international partners from the US and India that is expected to make a significant contribution to the global perspective. The goal is that within the next four months to invite and organize two work-shops that will be devoted the design a coherent and common project. We will together identify what competences that the project group is currently lacking to achieve our goal and use our common network to mend these competences such as the inclusion of partners from the private and commercial sector. For the best outcome of the this project a project organizer is hired to oversee that all aims are accomplished.
