The current spread of antibiotic resistance poses a dramatic threat to global health. We are thus in urgent need of novel treatment strategies. As the evolutionary potential of pathogens is part of the problem, sustainable strategies should take account of the selection dynamics underlying the emergence and rise in resistance. However, most public health measures do not yet address pathogen evolution. The aim of the symposium and workshop is therefore to strengthen the exchange between fundamental research in evolutionary biology on antibiotic resistance and medical practice. How can medical challenges be approached by evolutionary biologists in a sensible way? And how can insights from evolutionary biology be implemented in practice? The workshop will therefore bring together physicians with expertise in antibiotic therapy, experimental evolutionary biologists, and modelers. The first part consists of a symposium with open registration (available spots limited to 20). In the second part, invited participants will form discussion groups to develop novel ideas concerning the above questions.

In order to enable an iCal export link, your account needs to have an API key created. This key enables other applications to access data from within Indico even when you are neither using nor logged into the Indico system yourself with the link provided. Once created, you can manage your key at any time by going to 'My Profile' and looking under the tab entitled 'HTTP API'. Further information about HTTP API keys can be found in the Indico documentation.
Additionally to having an API key associated with your account, exporting private event information requires the usage of a persistent signature. This enables API URLs which do not expire after a few minutes so while the setting is active, anyone in possession of the link provided can access the information. Due to this, it is extremely important that you keep these links private and for your use only. If you think someone else may have acquired access to a link using this key in the future, you must immediately create a new key pair on the 'My Profile' page under the 'HTTP API' and update the iCalendar links afterwards.
