The invite-only event is co-presented by CSIRO and the Fleming Initiative, an international AMR programme led out of the UK’s Imperial College London.
AMR 2026 will be hosted 18-20 February 2026 in Sydney.
Focus
The aim of the Summit is to maintain momentum one year on from the 2024 United National General Assembly High Level Meeting on Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) and political declaration, ensure ongoing attention is being placed on tackling the global AMR challenge, and move partners from thoughts and talks to implementation and impact
These objectives will be achieved by:
- Convening people from the public, private, and research sectors who directly and indirectly support and drive AMR initiatives.
- Introducing new partners, patients, and communities, including those who have not traditionally been the focus in the AMR ecosystem.
- Enabling participating nations to discuss their AMR initiatives and National AMR Action Plans (NAPs), and share their AMR successes and challenges.
- Creating a forum for collaboration to improve knowledge-sharing between and within differing geographies and sectors, reduce duplication of effort, and facilitate efficient progress tracking.
- Providing a nuanced understanding of AMR’s regional landscape and test new creative concepts for ensuring safe, available, effective and affordable antibiotics, diagnostics and vaccines.
Programme and approach
The Summit will cover ‘what’s worked and not worked’ rather than ‘what should be done’, and will presentations from from governments, NGOs, and investors (public and private).
| Day 1: Impetus for action | Day 2: Innovation for impact | Day 3: Stepping stones for success |
|---|---|---|
|
|
|
| These themes will reflect a One Health approach | ||
The core programme includes evidence-informed One Health approaches to AMR, solutions to overcome implementation barriers, both physical and non-physical, and strategies for public education and engagement, effective communication, and advocacy.
Delivery methods will include keynotes, short presentations, panels, workshops, and hypotheticals.
The Summit will include the official welcoming of Female Trailblazers in AMR; a new global recognition-based award that CSIRO and the Fleming Initiative have designed. It will acknowledge outstanding contributions to tackling AMR across sectors and disciplines.
