EUP OHAMR Joint Transnational Call 2026
“Treatments and Adherence to Treatment Protocols”
About the Partnership
The European Partnership on One Health Antimicrobial Resistance (EUP OHAMR) unites 53 organisations from 30 countries across Europe and beyond. By adopting a One Health approach, the partnership recognises that the health of humans, animals, plants, and the environment are deeply interconnected. Together, participating countries are investing in collaborative research to develop effective, sustainable solutions to combat AMR.
EUP OHAMR First Joint Transnational Call 2026
The Partnership launched its First Joint Transnational Call focusing on “Treatments and Adherence to Treatment Protocols.”
This call marks the beginning of a multi-annual effort to accelerate research and innovation that addresses the global challenge of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Future calls will focus on strengthening surveillance systems, advancing infection prevention and control, encouraging prudent antimicrobial use, and building overall capacity to tackle AMR across all sectors.
National Participation
Xjenza Malta is proud to participate as one of the Research Funding Organisations launching this first Call. Malta-based entities are eligible for funding of up to €500,000 per project to join international consortia addressing one of the following priority topics:
- Topic 1: Identify and develop new combination treatments using existing or innovative antimicrobials or antimicrobial with adjunctive treatments to extend drug efficacy and combat resistance
- Topic 2: Develop tools and methods to improve adherence to treatment protocols (engagement of end-users is mandatory)
- Topic 3: Assess the impact of antimicrobials for veterinary and agricultural use on the risk of AMR transmission to humans and the environment to inform policies on the restriction of some antimicrobials for human use.
