MDPI Webinar | World Antimicrobial Resistance Awareness Week Webinar 2024, 22 November 2024


MDPI would like to invite all experts recognized in their fields to attend the MDPI World Antimicrobial Resistance Awareness Week Webinar 2024, which will be held on 22 November 2024. The aim of this webinar is to bring together researchers, clinicians, and public health experts to discuss the latest advancements in combating antimicrobial resistance (AMR), one of the most pressing challenges in global health today. AMR is not only a public health crisis but also a socioeconomic issue, with wide-reaching negative effects on human and animal health, food security, and the environment. Drug-resistant pathogens pose a threat to everyone, everywhere. Despite this, there remains much to be done in terms of raising public and stakeholder awareness and promoting action against AMR.

We look forward to seeing you at the MDPI World Antimicrobial Resistance Awareness Week Webinar 2024!
