EDAR8 Workshop: From evidence to action: An interactive workshop on AMR policy | Role-play simulation on AMR policy deliberation

Session 2.3B | Tuesday 4th August | 2:00pm-5:30pm | Boulevard Room

Facilitators: Mrs Rebekah Riddle, Dr Todd Schenk, Dr Dominic Frigon, Dr Amy Pruden

Aims: This workshop aims to help participants explore how antimicrobial resistance evidence is interpreted, contested, and translated into policy across human, animal, and environmental domains.

Background: Antimicrobial resistance is a complex One Health, yet policy responses are often fragmented across sectors. The workshop uses a role-play simulation to explore how evidence, stakeholder priorities, and trade-offs shape policy action.

Workshop Participants and Activity: The workshop is designed for a broad, interdisciplinary audience, including researchers, practitioners, and policy stakeholders from any sector or level of expertise. It uses an interactive role-play simulation with small group breakout discussions, deliberation, and reflection to create a hands-on experience with cross-sector dialogue.

Participants will:

  • Take part in a role-play simulation on AMR policy deliberation.
  • Explore how AMR evidence is prioritized and contested in policy settings.
  • Deliberate across disciplinary and sectoral perspectives.
  • Explore trade-offs involved in translating AMR science into policy action.
  • Identify strategies to strengthen science-to-policy translation in AMR.
