JPIAMR Workshop “The interplay between AMR Surveillance and Science”
Oslo, Norway October 12-13. 2016
Surveillance is a key component of any strategy to counteract the spread and consequences of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Present surveillance systems have severe limitations and the purpose of the workshop is to explore how surveillance systems can be developed to support scientific research, and how science can fill knowledge gaps to optimize surveillance.
The workshop will be hosted by the Norwegian Research Council as a lunch-to-lunch meeting for invited participants on October 12-13 in Oslo, Norway. The discussion will revolve around selected keynote lectures, breakout sessions and plenary discussions.
