This Coordination and Support Action proposal aims at aiding the implementation of the Joint Programming Initiative on Antimicrobial Resistance (JPIAMR). JPIAMR currently has 18 participating countries and organisations from 8 of these are active partners of the CSA consortium. This proposal describes in detail the different work packages (WPs) that have been suggested in order to secure the rapid implementation of JPIAMR as a mature European partnership. In summary, WP1 delivers the coordination and management needed for efficient operation, WP2 delivers a communication strategy to ensure that everyone in the field is made aware of JPIAMR. Efficient communication strategies will enable cooperation, which will be further explored in WP5 on stakeholders’ involvement. WP3 delivers an SRA, which WP4 will implement. Both of these steps will be done in close collaboration with WP5 to ensure that input from relevant stakeholders is taken into account. Finally, WP6 will enable a framework for the evaluation of the initiative as well as set the rules for IPR. By this, the aim of the JPIAMR – to integrate relevant scientific fields across national borders and to create a common European research agenda with a shared common vision – will be addressed.
