Abstract

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a silent pandemic that presents a global challenge, urging researchers to develop innovative and transdisciplinary solutions. Our initiative aims to promote collaboration across science, engineering, economics, social sciences, and the arts to address the complex dimensions of AMR. We highlight the unique role of early-career researchers (ECRs) in advancing such cross-cutting approaches and conclude that empowering ECRs through equitable support and recognition is essential to sustaining innovation and mobilising communities against AMR.

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a global challenge. In this Perspective, authors highlight the unique role of early-career researchers (ECRs) in the transdisciplinary progress in AMR research.
