For the first time, CAMRIA leadership, researchers engaged in the projects financed by the centre, along with invited guests gathered during a lunch-to-lunch working seminar in Bekkjarvik (August 23-24, 2022).
The main objective of this event was twofold – to enable the participants, particularly those representing different fields, to get to know each other better, and to inspire ideas for future interdisciplinary projects and collaborations within the antimicrobial resistance-related research.
A varied program of the seminar with many different interactive activities supported achievement of those goals. Among others, the participants had an opportunity to join forces in a “TikTok exercise” and explain how CAMRIA will save the world through short TikTok-style presentations, they also had an opportunity to listen to several inspiring keynotes and brainstorm on research ideas in smaller groups.
The event turned out to be a great success and brough the CAMRIA team even closer together, with new perspectives for the future research in the field.
