The emergence of new or resistant pathogens and their uncontrolled global spreading pose a growing risk for all areas of human life. A lack of effective drugs as well as of preventative and diagnostic techniques add to the threat. Furthermore, there is an increasing demand for education and information of patients and skilled personnel in this area. InfectControl 2020 is a consortium of scientists and companies that aims to solve these problems. New strategies to identify, control and combat infectious diseases are developed as well as successfully implemented commercially. The consortium focuses its efforts on four defined areas: agriculture and veterinary medicine, mobility, climate and infrastructure, medical research and care as well as the public and patients.

InfectControl 2020 is funded by the BMBF in the initiative “Zwanzig20-Partnerschaft für Innovation”.
