AMR Awareness Project

The Baltic Research Institute is proud to be involved in an innovative project to raise awareness of the issue of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) amongst young people.

In February, we took ten year 12 students from the Baltic Research Institute to the Bioinfect 2025 Conference at the Spine Building in Liverpool to hear about some fascinating developments in the fight against AMR and to present their own ideas and findings about raising awareness of AMR amongst young people. It is estimated that AMR already causes over 1 million deaths per year and this figure is set to continue increasing as bacteria and other pathogens become more resistant to our antimicrobial drugs such as antibiotics. Our students presented their ideas for raising awareness of this issue and creating a youth movement to make people as aware of AMR as they are of climate change.
