Horizon Europe’s partnership for antimicrobial resistance (AMR) research launched last week with a plan to bring Europe closer to finding new anti-microbial therapies in the next decade. With more of an innovation focus than its Horizon 2020 predecessor, the aim is to move potential therapies closer to the market. 

The ten-year partnership pools €253 million in research funding from 30 countries, including €75 million from Horizon Europe. Its first call, focused on treatments, is due to launch in November with a budget of around €35 million. The call text has yet to be published, but a pre-announcement is due in mid-October.
