Improved hygiene and better prevention and treatment have diminished the incidence of infectious diseases particularly in industrialized countries over the past decades, with antibiotics playing a major role in removing the fear of infectious diseases. However, increasing antimicrobial resistance and emergence of new pathogens, together with changes in pathogen distribution due to altered climate and mobility are increasing global challenges for humankind.

Working on a strong interdisciplinary and cooperative infection research agenda the Leibniz Research Alliance „INFECTIONS in an Urbanizing Word – Humans, Animals, Environments” opens up new avenues of communication across disciplines to approach the globally relevant health and societal challenge of infectious disease transmission with focus on the spread of antimicrobial resistant microbes. Experts from various scientific fields will present their latest findings. Young researchers will present in a poster session. A panel discussion will conclude the symposium.
