Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is an ever-increasing problem and a focus of veterinary research and animal health industry. AMR in animals is a problem not only for companion and working animals but also for the security of the human food chain. The University of Cambridge has a wide range of researchers of many disciplines working on many different technologies linked to preventing or reducing the impact of AMR. We would like to start a conversation with industry and begin to translate some of these ideas into real-world solutions for AMR.
The 
University of Cambridge Bioscience Impact Team funded by the BBSRC Impact Acceleration Account is hosting a showcase event to bring together researchers and industries associated with antimicrobial resistance and provide them with an opportunity to form new contacts, share ideas and start to think about the ways they can work together. The event will give researchers the opportunity to give short pitches about their research focus to an audience of relevant potential commercial partners. We will then facilitate opportunities for them to form useful connections.
This showcase event is open to all University of Cambridge researchers from any discipline conducting research with a potential AMR application. The event is designed to help you decide upon the best course of action to develop your idea. Pump-prime funding is linked to the event to help either kick-start a collaboration with industry, or generate any further data required to help make that connection.
All University delegates will be required to prepare a short 'elevator-pitch' style presentation to give during the event. We also require that you practice this presentation with the event facilitators and Cambridge Enterprise before the event (on the application form you will be requested to select dates that you will be available to do this). We hope that this will be a popular and useful event and in the case of over-subscription we will select delegates based on their relevance to the event and industry attendees.
Applications for this event have now closed.
