Project goals
The project will achieve the following outputs from the goals of UTFORSK:
- Outcome 1 (Strengthen international partnership) – outputs 1.1-1.4
- Outcome 2 (Enhanced quality and relevance of study program) – outputs 2.1-2.5
Project summary
The AMR-Educate project's main goal is to provide a platform (real & virtual) for interdisciplinary training of Ph.D., MSc, and BSc students within scientific disciplines connected to infection & antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Tackling AMR requires creating something new by crossing boundaries and thinking across them. We aim to create a research-integrated platform tailored to the current and future infection and AMR-related curriculum, where both students & educators are actively involved in training and developing their research networks.
The project will prepare upcoming researchers and educators to better solve the problem at hand for a sustainable future and establish long-term partnerships among the partners. Our team includes experts across clinical microbiology, infection biology, genomics, bioinformatics, machine learning, molecular & structural biology, photonics, nano-microscopy, and drug discovery. It will be a multilateral collaboration between Norway, India, and the USA. The partners include universities and, non-academic stakeholders, including hospitals & national public health institutions, which are also future employers for students.
Project activities
- Develop a virtual education and research e-AMR center to train and co-supervise Ph.D., MSc, & BSc students jointly across partner institutions;
- Provide virtual student and staff mobility ensuring internalization at home;
- Arrange students & staff mobility to involve them in world-class research & to broaden their practical skills in key disciplines;
- Jointly develop the course, “Enabling technologies for improved infection control and AMR stewardship” comprised of three independent modules of 5 ECTS credits each;
- Conduct annual summer schools & workshops spread across the partner countries & institutions on various aspects of infection & AMR to fill education gaps between the disciplines.
