This capacity-building workshop is part of the EU-WISH programme and focuses on strengthening technical expertise in wastewater-based surveillance. The event is designed as a hands-on, practice-oriented training for laboratory professionals, combining preparatory learning with on-site sessions.

The workshop will address the important topic of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in wastewater. 

Due to the laboratory-based nature of the activities, participation is limited.

Who Should Attend?

This workshop is exclusively open to members of the EU-WISH consortium. Given the hands-on laboratory format, the number of participants is very limited.
This training is intended for technical and laboratory professionals involved in wastewater surveillance.

Registration modality

Expressions of interest will be shared directly with EU-WISH consortium members.

Participants will be selected based on:
- Relevant expertise and experience,
- Country representation,
- Professional role,
- Potential to disseminate knowledge and skills within their home institutions.

Workshop full program

The AMR training will be divided in one training on detection of AMR through culture (with a focus on carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales and ESBL-producing E. coli) and in one training on detection of AMR through qPCR.
