Track 3: Antimicrobial agents and resistance
Prof. Doug Freeman, Prof. Ab Osterhaus and Prof. John Mackenzie
The congress press briefing is open for members of the press attending the congress. Prof. Doug Freeman, Prof. Ab Osterhaus and Prof. John Mackenzie will provide an overview of the congress programme, highlighting key lectures and elaborating on major topics. The scope and objectives of the congress will be put in the wider framework of the threats of emerging and re-emeriging diseases and the challenges the world faces when addressing antimicrobial resistance. Members of the press receive detailed information about speakers' backgrounds and expertises and on how to contact them during the congress. The press briefing will not be recorded and can therefore not be shared with journalists who are not attending the congress.

Prof. John Mackenzie, Prof. Ab Osterhaus and other key contributors to the congress will share the main outcomes on aspects of emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases and antimicrobial resistance. They will inform attendees about the development of a “White Paper” - established during the congress. The White Paper will provide in-depth descriptions of the major One Health challenges and threats. It will openly state what is going wrong on a societal level, what is lacking and what the gaps are in order to make the world a safer place when it comes to One Health issues. The White Paper will come with a clear call for actions, a roadmap that describes what needs to be done - better and more.
- How to Write and Publish a Great Scientific Paper
- Innovative technologies and One Health – a Panel discussion
Led by Peter Daszak, Editor-in-Chief of the journal EcoHealth, and President of EcoHealth Alliance.
The writeshop covers how to strategically write and publish high-quality scientific research in a peer-reviewed journal. The inside-editorial perspective of the manuscript submission, review, and publication process will be shared with attendees. Topics covered include Impact Factors, Open Access, and H Index as well as a brief, systematic break-down of the components of a scientific publication from the Introduction to Acknowledgments. Attendees of the writeshop will participate in a short exercise in drafting an abstract. The format of the writeshop is informal and questions are encouraged throughout. EcoHealth journal Editorial Board Members including Review Editors and Reviewers will also be in attendance.
Limited number of seats available. To secure your seat, send an e-mail with your details to registration manager Elina Martin at [email protected].
Led by Alasdair Cook, Head of vHive - the Veterinary Health Innovation Engine
Panellists will represent experience in innovative technologies, especially blockchain, in different domains including human and animal health. In an environment where investment in programmes to improve human and animal wellbeing must be able to demonstrate impact, these technologies promise transparency and through engagement with stakeholders across a value chain from producer to customer, enable integration of different stakeholder viewpoints.
The Workshop will consider themes such as:
- An overview of Blockchain – what is it?
- Blockchain implemented in practice
- Opportunities to benefit livestock keepers in less developed countries eg through access to quality-assured vaccines and other pharmaceutical products
- Interaction between other technologies including diagnostics and use of “big data” with Blockchain
- Drivers and barriers to implementation including challenges to existing business models
- Pathways to implementation
- Requirements for success
Workshop participants will be able to offer their own views and questions.
Limited number of seats available. To secure your seat, send an e-mail with your details to registration manager Elina Martin at [email protected].
An extensive programme of guided excursions to a variety of natural, cultural and historical settings will be offered to congress participants. Excursions are not included in the registration fee and hence need to be booked and paid separately. All information is now available via the registration page of this website.
