What we do

The AMR Insights Ambassador Network is at the forefront of the fight against Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR), driving impactful activities that promote international collaboration, innovation, and progress. From ambitious research projects to knowledge-sharing platforms, the Network enables a diverse range of efforts to address one of the most pressing health challenges of our time.

International Projects, Studies, and Surveys

The Network spearheads and supports numerous international projects and studies that aim to generate actionable insights and solutions for AMR.

• Retrospective Multi-Country Analysis: A comprehensive investigation into antimicrobial stewardship in hospitalized COVID-19 patients, offering valuable lessons for future pandemics.
• ESKAPE EXPLORE AMR Dashboard: A cutting-edge tool to monitor and analyze the prevalence of ESKAPE pathogens, critical contributors to AMR, helping stakeholders make informed decisions.

These initiatives exemplify the global, data-driven approach needed to curb AMR effectively.

Building Strong Consortia

Collaboration is the cornerstone of progress, and the Network facilitates the formation of consortia to pool expertise and resources. A prime example is the Dutch Consortium on Antibiotics and Pharmaceutical Residues from Water, which addresses the environmental dimension of AMR—a crucial but often overlooked aspect of the problem.

Joint Publications on AMR

The Network has contributed to numerous joint publications on selected AMR-related topics, featured in both peer-reviewed scientific journals and widely read international outlets. These publications cover a range of themes, from breakthrough research to policy recommendations, ensuring AMR remains a priority on the global agenda.

International Symposia

Events like the International Conclave on AMR and Future of Antibiotics (ICAFA) 2023 in India bring together global experts, policymakers, and innovators. These symposia provide an unparalleled platform for exchanging ideas, forging partnerships, and shaping the future of AMR interventions.

Specialized Expert Teams

The Network organizes expert teams comprising professionals skilled in clinical trial design, statistics, mathematical modeling, and more. These teams provide critical expertise to support robust research and development efforts, ensuring that AMR solutions are scientifically sound and impactful.

Knowledge Sharing Through Blogging and Podcasts

To raise awareness and inspire action, the Network hosts an extensive collection of blogs and podcasts on the AMR Insights website. These resources cover the latest developments, expert opinions, and practical insights, making complex AMR issues accessible to a broader audience while fostering dialogue and education.
