Research on antibiotics and antibiotic resistance

In 2025, the European Partnership on One Health AntiMicrobial Resistance, EUP OHAMR, is starting a new collaboration for research into antimicrobialresistance, supported by the European Commission. The EUP OHAMR offers great opportunities, both for researchers and for Sweden, which has applied to lead the partnership.

Research is an important component of society’s efforts to prevent and manage antibiotic resistance. Next year, the Swedish Research Council will for the first time issue a call for project grants in this area, open to applicants from different scientific fields.

In early 2021, a call will open within the Joint Programme Initiative on Antimicrobial Resistance (JPIAMR) collaboration, focusing on preventing and reducing the development and transmission of antimicrobial resistance. The Swedish Research Council and the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (Sida) are participating as Swedish funding bodies.
