We were honored to organize and host a transformative three-day Advanced Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) Data Analysis and Clinical Leadership Training at the Grand Intercontinental Hotel, Seoul. This high-level event was supported by the Fleming Fund through the CAPTURA and TACE projects, bringing together nearly 60 participants from over 15 countries and more than 20 expert speakers from around the world.

The training served as a platform for collaborative learning and knowledge exchange aimed at strengthening global efforts to combat AMR. It also highlighted innovative tools and methodologies for data analysis and evidence-based decision-making.

As both an organizer and presenter, our team had the opportunity to demonstrate how QAAPT—a free, web-based AMR data visualization platform—can support national, sub-national, and facility-level stakeholders, including microbiologists, pharmacists, technologists, epidemiologists, and public health professionals, in analyzing AMR data to drive impactful actions. Presentation resources from this session are available here.

We were privileged to welcome distinguished guests and AMR leaders, including:

• Dr. Jerome Kim, Director General, IVI
• Dr. Florian Marks, Deputy Director General & Head of EPIC, IVI
• Dr. Nimesh Poudyal, Head of AMR Department, IVI
• Professor Dame Sally Davies, UK Special Envoy on AMR
