On 15 September, Global-PPS researcher Ines Pauwels successfully defended her PhD thesis, showcasing the powerful link between the Global-PPS initiative and the drive-AMS project.
In this latest edition of our AMS expert interview series, we speak with Esmée Ruizendaal, a clinical microbiologist at Radboud University Medical Center in The Netherlands, about her journey into global health, her upcoming SPICE* mission in Tanzania, and the value of collaborative mentorship in antimicrobial stewardship (AMS).
As the drive-AMS project reaches its conclusion, we’re thrilled to invite you to a special Networking Event on 16 October 2025, hosted at the Thon Hotel EU in Brussels. This event is part of the three-day final meeting of the drive-AMS initiative and will bring together key voices in antimicrobial stewardship (AMS) from across Europe.
On 20 and 21 October, all participating Portuguese institutions will gather in a drive-AMS-PT Long-Road Meeting, to discuss the program’s significance and future in Portugal.
We are delighted to announce that on 15 September, Ines Pauwels will publicly defend her PhD thesis titled: “Global antimicrobial prescribing patterns and the initiation of stewardship activities in hospitals within the Global-PPS network”
