AMR Register Data Re-Use Challenge

Vivli is seeking funding to launch a ‘Data Challenge’ with the key goals of a) promoting awareness and utilization of the Vivli AMR Register to more researchers; and b) driving technological advances in the field of Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR). We hope this event will attract data scientists and AMR experts to make use of the AMR Register to propose cutting-edge questions and analyses based on datasets hosted on the platform to advance scientific research in AMR. Hackathon-type events are well-established in data science and aligning fields, and therefore we believe the 'Vivli AMR Surveillance Open Data Re-use Challenge’ has the potential to draw AMR experts, data scientists/research software engineers, and researchers at the cutting-edge of machine-learning (ML) who could benefit from access to the 'big data’ on our platform. ATLAS antibiotics is the largest dataset available from the AMR Register which has over 100 columns and nearly 800,000 rows of data collected between 2004 and 2020. The AMR Register contains data from 960,000 isolates from 85 countries (including 40 LMICs) on over 500 organisms.
