From the lens of early-career researchers: bridging science, technology, arts, and humanities to tackle antimicrobial resistance

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) constitutes a silent pandemic and a mounting global threat, demanding innovative and genuinely transdisciplinary responses. This initiative seeks to catalyse collaboration across the natural sciences, engineering, economics, social sciences, and the arts in order to address the multifaceted nature of AMR. It underscores the distinctive contribution of early-career researchers (ECRs) in driving integrative, cross-cutting approaches, and concludes that sustained innovation and effective community mobilisation against AMR depend on providing ECRs with equitable support, visibility, and recognition.
