Welcome to Hacking AMR 2019!
Finding digital solutions to fight Antimicrobial Resistance is our theme for this special international JPIAMR hackathon. The hackathon aim is to bring together scientists, designers, patients, developers, innovators, students and entrepreneurs to collaborate, dream up & create solutions to real-world problems to improve human, animal and environmental health and wellbeing with regards to Antimicrobial Resistance.
What to expect from the JPIAMR Hackathon?
Hacking AMR 2019 is a fun, hands-on, intense, 3-day event that seeks to produce innovative digital work products/mock-ups/prototypes that can bring concrete, actionable solutions to address the issue of Antimicrobial Resistance.
At the Hackathon, teams will pitch ideas, get advice from experts and draft solutions that can be integrated and implemented into systems affecting human, animal and environmental health and wellbeing. We can’t wait to see you contribute to a hackathon project that can be brought to market for the benefit of communities everywhere.
