The Global Need for Effective Antibiotics - Moving towards Concerted Action

Conference in Uppsala
September 6-8, 2010

As the burden of antibiotic resistance grows, securing the need to effective antibiotics must become a top priority on the global health agenda. To address this challenge, Uppsala University/ReAct (Action on Antibiotic Resistance) will host the conference "The Global Need for Effective Antibiotics - Moving towards Concerted Action" on September 6-8, 2010 in Uppsala, Sweden. This invitational conference will build upon and deepen the discussions held at the expert meeting on "Innovative Incentives for Effective Antibacterials," organized by the Swedish EU Presidency in the fall of 2009. Taking a global perspective on these problems, the Uppsala conference will pursue concrete solutions to critical issues such as establishing a framework for priority setting for research and development of new drugs and diagnostic methods, enhancing knowledge-sharing for drug discovery, and explore different combinations of incentives to reinvigorate the innovation of new antibacterials.

Please mark your calendars for these dates. We hope you will be able to join us for this important convening in Uppsala in September.
