Previous Winners

“Being awarded the Christiana Figueres Policy to Practice Award is an exceptional honour that validates the importance of bridging research and real-world implementation in addressing antimicrobial resistance. This recognition from Applied Microbiology International highlights the critical need for translating scientific insights into practical solutions for one of our most pressing global health challenges. As someone dedicated to AMR mitigation, I'm deeply grateful that this award acknowledges not just my research contributions, but also the vital importance of the development, implementation guidance, and evaluation of policy at global, regional, and national levels. I encourage all researchers and professionals working at the intersection of microbiology, policy, and practice to nominate/apply for the AMI Horizon Awards. It's a remarkable opportunity to showcase your work, validate your contributions, and create a dynamic network with experts committed to applying microbiology to solve real-world challenges.”
