About the Global AMR R&D Hub
The Global Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) Research and Development (R&D) Hub was launched in May 2018 following a call by G20 Leaders to strengthen coordination, collaboration, and strategic investment in global AMR R&D using a One Health approach. The Hub supports global priority setting and evidence-based decision-making by bringing forward data and insights, identifying gaps, overlaps, and opportunities for collaboration to improve the AMR R&D landscape. It is a global partnership currently comprising 19 countries, the European Commission, the Wellcome Trust, and the Gates Foundation. The Hub’s work is guided by a Board of Members and delivered by a small Secretariat based in Berlin.
