Looking back: Leibniz Infections Summer School 2024

The Leibniz research alliance INFECTIONS hosted a summer school in June. Early career researchers/scientists from various institutes and scientific disciplines dedicated three days to the topic of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). The ATB was also on site as part of the network with four doctoral students and Dr Tina Kabelitz as an presenter.

The INFECTIONS Summer School took place at the Leibniz Institute of Freshwater Ecology and Inland Fisheries (IGB) from 25-27 June 2024 under the motto "Antimicrobial resistance: navigating between access & excess". A total of 30 participants from various scientific disciplines came together to discuss AMR in many different aspects. Not only did the experts have their say, but the early career researcher/scientists also took part in the lively exchange. The six PhDs from the INFECTIONS research network organised a workshop for all participants on the topic of "Principles of AMR and antibiotic gene prediction by using bioinformatic tools". In 3-minute speed talks, the doctoral students had the opportunity to present their current projects and thereby give free rein to their creativity. In the end, a poem and a story won the prize for the best speed talks.

As part of the Leibniz research alliances INFECTIONS, the ATB is particularly involved with the containment of pathogens in agriculture. The Summer School programme not only provided an opportunity to discuss scientific findings, political views or the consequences of AMR for our environment. The supporting programme also provided plenty of fun and networking opportunities. Lake Stechlin and the beautiful weather were perfect for rowing and swimming. The visit to the IGB lake laboratory was also a highlight of the three-day meeting.

Megarsa Jaleta, Aleksandra Atanasova, Hoda Taheri Sedeh and Dr Tina Kabelitz from the ATB had a great time and are looking forward to future meetings.
