The joint ISAC/ESCMID webinar aims to explore the challenges of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in low-resource settings and displaced populations, highlighting practical solutions for infection control. It seeks to promote global collaboration and innovative strategies to address AMR in these vulnerable communities.

Science & Research

The Study Group Collaboration Grant is a larger-scale grant for innovative research projects in clinical microbiology and infectious diseases organised by an experienced PI with the support of at least three ESCMID SGs. Designed for a maximum duration of two years, your project should be of high quality, with a focus on innovation and networking.

Education

The UEMS Section of Medical Microbiology, in partnership with ESCMID, is pleased to announce the date for the next European Examination in Medical Microbiology.

The Examination is based on the curriculum which is part of the UEMS Core Training Programme of Medical Microbiology, current European best practice guidelines and recent pivotal publications in the major journals.

Find out details and fees on our website.

The next module of the Adaptive Clinical Trial Designs course - Module 5: “Platform trials and the personalised randomised controlled trial” - is now available. The fifth module in this series introduces platform trials and the personalised randomised controlled trial, explaining when and why these designs are useful, as well as what limitations are associated with them. The speakers offer real-life examples, such as the RECOVERY, REMAP-CAP, and NeoSep1 trials.

This hybrid course equips you with the knowledge and practical tools to improve patient outcomes, minimize healthcare-associated infections, and ensure the responsible use of antimicrobials. This programme offers in-depth training on the appropriate use of antimicrobials in managing complex infections while simultaneously focusing on effective infection prevention and control measures.

This course is part of the ESCMID AMS Certificate Programme.
