Research

The CRN-NRL-AR is also active in the fields of programming and applied research on infectious diseases in animals and zoonotic diseases. Particular emphases of research are on issues related to antibiotic resistance and ‘multidrug resistance’.

During 2012 and 2013 the CRN-NRL-AR along with its experts was part of the Management Board (Ministry of Health nominee) of the Joint Programming Initiative on Antimicrobial Resistance (JPI-AMR). The JPI-AMR was setup to define integrated approaches to develop, pursue and promote high quality research projects applicable to the problem of antibiotic resistance.

The CRN-NRL-AR has also participated in the ‘Working Group on veterinary perspective’, for the evaluation and definition of areas of veterinary interest in the Strategic Research Agenda of the JPI-AMR.
