Education initiative
for antimicrobial
resistance awareness

SAFE (Superbug Awareness for Education), is an international project ongoing since January 2020, in the field of antimicrobial resistance. SAFE offers Service-Learning workshops, where we train university students to teach high school students on the topic (training the trainer), encouraging the vocation for STEM careers, through workshops and internships, which will also serve to raise awareness and knowledge of the serious problem of antimicrobial resistance and the importance of the search for antibiotic-producing microorganisms.

Among other actions, the training of university students is carried out to transfer knowledge to high school students, so they can implement research projects on bacterial resistance, and gain scientific communication skills. The participants involved are: University students, undergraduate students (high school ), High school and university teachers, researchers.
