Community of Practice

Launched in 2022 by the UK FAO Reference Centre for Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR), the AMR Community of Practice (CoP) brings together laboratory professionals, veterinarians, researchers, and stakeholders who are dedicated to tackling AMR worldwide using a One Health Approach.

The CoP provides a vibrant platform for learning, idea sharing, and collaboration, fostering global connections that drive real impact. As of October 2025, our network has grown to more than 180 AMR experts representing around 100 institutions across 40 countries.
