Agenda

The project

AmReSu is a project that revolves around enhanced networking on antimicrobial resistance surveillance (AmReSu) with next generation sequencing. It strengthens the innovation capacity in AMR surveillance in Croatia and Hungary, focusing on whole genome sequencing in correlation with next-generation sequencing techniques. It will also establish an 'AMR surveillance vision'. It facilitate knowledge transfer, exchanges of best practices via training activities and the promotion of research excellence.

The project is funded by the European Commission under H2020. Find out more here.
