Uppsala Antibiotic Days 2026 Program
This conference will consist of scientific sessions with keynote speakers and selected presentations, a panel discussion and a poster session. We also offer plenty of opportunities for social interaction during breaks and the conference dinner. We look forward to have you with us. Feel free to reach out with any questions.
​
NOTE: the shown schedule is subject to slight changes as we arrange the details for the conference, but start and end days and time won't change. See you there!
DAY 1 - June 15th, 2025
Session 1: Social Sciences & Education
After welcoming and inaugurating the conference, we will start with our first scientific session, focusing on current insights from the social sciences and educational aspects within AMR.
Session 2: Drug discovery & Economics
After the golden era of antibiotics, we have been facing a dry pipeline for decades. Here we examine what is the current situation of the discovery of new antimicrobial drugs and the aspects of financing and economics in this area.
Lunch Break
Light lunch with the possibility of networking, mingling, and visiting the poster gallery.
Session 3: Complements to antibiotics
New approaches are reshaping how we prevent and treat bacterial infections. This session focuses on therapeutic options that work alongside or instead of antibiotics to enhance treatment outcomes and slow resistance development.
Poster session
Open poster session where attendees will have the chance to present their latest research and discuss their results with colleagues. Coffee and sweets will be served!
Cultural Tour
Participants will be able to join one of several cultural tours around Uppsala's historical spots.
Conference Dinner
Dinner arranged for any participant to join. (Note: this dinner is paid by each participant)
DAY 2 - June 16th, 2025
Session 4: Antibiotics beyond human treatments
Antibiotics shape far more than human patient outcomes. They can change the microbiome, move through wastewater, soil, and food chains, or influence resistance across ecosystems. This session looks at what happens beyond antibiotics' intended use and will explore ways to limit harm without losing life-saving benefits.
Session 5: Emergent pathogens
New resistant pathogens are emerging, including new bacterial species, viruses, fungi, and parasites. Here we explored resistance with an outlook to the future.
Lunch Break
Light lunch with the possibility of networking, mingling, and visiting the poster gallery.
Session 6: Diagnostics and Infection Control
Effective management of infectious diseases depends on both rapid diagnostics and strong infection control practices. This session highlights new research, tools, and strategies that improve detection, prevention, and IPC across settings.
