The students know the problem of AMR and can explain it to a non-specialist audience. The students are able to plan and carry out (photo)antimicrobial tests, isolation of microorganisms from different habitats and their basic cultivation methods, as well as the isolation of photoantimicrobial-active extracts. The students are able to communicate their results both in writing and in the form of presentations to a specialist and non-specialist audience.

This interdisciplinary course is designed to raise awareness of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and its treatment options. The course consists of an interactive seminar based on a flipped classroom approach and a practical part. The course focuses on the One Health concept and the development process of new antimicrobials with special emphasis on photoantimicrobials. The practical part will introduce the process of identification and characterization of photoantimicrobials as well as the ubiquity of microbes in the environment. The students will discuss and present their results in a mini-conference.

An attempt is made to achieve a balanced distribution of students from different studies, which also influences the admissions to this course. When selecting participants for the course, care is taken to represent a certain diversity of disciplines in order to promote interdisciplinary perspectives and enable exchange between different disciplines in terms of learning outcomes.

As this is an interdisciplinary course, there may be overlapping dates. If you are interested, please register anyway and note the overlap in the notes field. We will do our best to find a solution.

The course is primarily aimed at students from the fields of biology, chemistry, pharmacy and physics. 

Participants are invited to take part in a BEVI survey (Beliefs, Events, and Values Invetory, thttps://hebevi.com). The online participation takes place before and after the course and requires about 2x30 min. A discussion of the BEVI group results will be offered on request, depending on the interest of the participants.
