ESPID 2025 Summer School, – Seville, Spain, 24TH-27TH September 2025
Application Deadline: 30 June 2025
The 2nd ESPID Summer School aims to enrich knowledge in AMR (AMS and IPC) for a select group of 30 participants. The scientific programme, developed by the ESPID Board along with a distinguished faculty of globally recognized experts in AMR, is designed to provide a comprehensive understanding of various facets of antimicrobial resistance. Topics will include:
- Antimicrobial stewardship (AMS)
- Diagnostic approaches
- Treatment strategies for special populations
- Infection prevention and control (IPC)
Through lectures, workshops, and practical sessions led by renowned experts, the programme will empower paediatric infection specialists to set up antimicrobial stewardship programmes within their own hospitals and to contribute to national and ESPID pAMS and IPC initiatives. The event is aimed at senior PID trainees and junior consultants (within the first or second year of their consultant post). While preference will be given to ESPID members, the programme is open to all eligible applicants with a strong interest in paediatric infectious diseases and AMR.
