EMBARK Webinar April 28

The first instance of our webinar series will take place on April 28, at 2PM CEST. Our invited speaker is Gerry Wright who will talk about Approaches to measure and monitor AMR in various environments. There will also be a speaker from the EMBARK program matched to each invited speaker in this webinar series, and this time Luis Pedro Coelho will talk about their work on quantifying AMR at very large scales.

This will be followed by a short Q&A, including a discussion between the two presenters and the moderator. We look forward to seeing you there!
