COMBACTE-NET Combatting Bacterial Resistance in Europe

Coordinator: ASTRAZENECA AB (SE)

The emergence of Antibiotic-resistant bacteria (ARB) is a global problem, having recently been elevated to the top three threats identified by the World Health Organisation (WHO), and subject of numerous national and international government activities, including the Trans-Atlantic Task Force on Antimicrobial Resistance established by the US and EU presidencies. The estimated costs of ARB are around € 1.5 Billion per year in Europe, with an estimated 25,000 deaths (European Center for Disease prevention and Control/European Medicines Agency “time to react”). While the threat of antimicrobial …

About Seventh Framework Programme (2007–2013)

The Seventh Framework Programme (FP7) ran from 2007 to 2013 and was the EU's main research-funding instrument of that period. It mobilised roughly €50 billion across cooperation projects, ERC frontier grants, Marie Curie fellowships, capacity-building actions and Euratom research. FP7 closed to new calls in 2013 but its projects continued for years after under their original grant agreements.

Co-funding: the European Union contributes €109.4M toward a total project budget of €221.0M — a funding rate of 50%, with the remainder covered by the consortium partners. The project runs over approximately 8.2 years from 2013-01-01 to 2021-02-28.
