Saïd Business School, Oxford
Hosted by the Ineos Oxford Institute for antimicrobial research (IOI), the IOI early career researcher conference brought together over 170 early career researchers across disciplines to share their work to combat antimicrobial resistance (AMR).
Recordings of the morning sessions and afternoon sessions are available on the IOI YouTube channel.
The conference featured poster presentations and flash talks from early-career researchers; and longer talks from senior AMR researchers from across all disciplines.
Registration has now closed for this event.
