Registration and abstract submission to EDAR6 is now open!

The sixth conference on the Environmental Dimension of Antibiotic Resistance (EDAR6) will be held in Gothenburg, Sweden, on 22-27 September 2022. The role of the environment in the development and spread of antibiotic resistance has become more and more recognized. This is true not only among academic researchers. The environment is also becoming an important component of both national and international AMR policies. This recognition stems from an increased appreciation that bacteria and their genes can move between the environment, human and animal microbiota (the One-Health-Concept). EDAR attempts to embrace a broad set of topics, including e.g. pollution sources and fates in the environment, environmental selection and evolution of resistance, transmission of genes and bacteria between different environments/humans/animals, surveillance, risk assessment strategies, and both technical and policy-related means of mitigating risks.

The deadline for submitting an abstract is on 2 June 2022!

For a flavour of the science to be covered at EDAR6, attend the monthly EDAR6 countdown webinar series, starting in February 2022. At each seminar, a previous EDAR convener will give a state-of-the-art presentation on a topic of his/her choice. The webinars are free of charge to attend.
