Overview
UNESCO supports research institutes, scientists, and researchers in advancing scientific knowledge through a variety of programmes and initiatives. Additionally, UNESCO focuses on STEM education, offering resources and training for educators and students. Activities like boot camps, workshops, seminars, webinars, and awards are part of UNESCO's mission to foster a thriving international scientific community.
This five-day international hands-on training course addresses the growing global challenge of antimicrobial resistance (AMR), which threatens human and animal health by undermining the effectiveness of treatments and jeopardizing food security and economic stability.
Course Details
The training will take place at the FAO Reference Center for Antimicrobial Resistance and Aquaculture Biosecurity at Nitte University, India. It aims to equip researchers with tools and knowledge to address AMR, enhance scientific capacity, and develop solutions vital for global health and sustainability.
Eligibility Criteria
Applicants must:
- Have an academic background or at least five years of relevant experience in fields such as aquatic organism health management, aquaculture, microbiology, or informatics.
- Be a national and resident of an African country.
- Be available for all the days of the training.
