Vivli is launching the 2024 Vivli AMR Surveillance Data Challenge, funded by GARDP, Paratek, Pfizer and Vivli, on 17th June. The data challenge aims to stimulate and support the innovative re-use of surveillance data available in the AMR Register.
This Challenge provides an opportunity for multidisciplinary teams to win prizes by using high-quality industry AMR surveillance data to answer pressing research questions. The data will be shared through the AMR Register.
A series of prizes can be won by research teams from any discipline who find new insights in the data and contribute to the fight against antimicrobial resistance.

A total of 6 awards will be provided that are associated with monetary awards and/or travel

Sign up to the data challenge Slack Channel to be notified when the challenge is open and to keep updated about the latest information and details about this data challenge.
What’s involved?
On June 17, 2024, teams will be invited to register and submit a short summary of the research they intend to undertake with the data (an Expression of Interest or EOI). The EOIs will be reviewed, and teams will be given access to the data for a 30-day window, during which solutions must be submitted.
These submissions will be reviewed by a panel of judges and finalists selected. Finalists will have the opportunity to pitch their idea to a panel of judges via Zoom and the prize winners will be chosen.
