Educational Activities

EUCIC is collaborating in a Joint Action with Antimicrobial Resistance and Healthcare-Associated Infections 2 (EU-JAMRAI 2) launched in February 2024. The aim is to establish a peer-to-peer (P2P) exchange programme and develop mentorship and observership programme for the coming three years (2025-2027). 

Webinars

Quarterly webinars are organized to address essential topics in infection prevention and control (IPC). This initiative aims to provide valuable insights in partnership with key groups working in this field.

Peer-to-peer (P2P) exchange

Peer-to-peer (P2P) means the sharing of practices and experiences between professionals at the same level. In EU-JAMRAI 2 this means: partner-to-partner. The « peers » work collaboratively, each contributing equally to the process. Regular meetings or virtual sessions will be arranged for participants to review each other’s practices and provide constructive feedback. This may include discussions and exchanging of daily routine practices, strategic ideas, tools and materials.

You will find here a list of local P2P events not related to EU-JAMRAI 2 to which you can attend, and communication details of contact persons for each of them.

If you are in charge, or participant, of a P2P event, you can add it to the list by filling the following online form.

Online Form

A mentorship programme is based on a match of a mentor with a mentee or mentees working within a similar IPC implementation activity or towards a specific IPC goal in the organisation. We are planning to facilitate matching of partners one-to-one or as groups, in a longitudinal way, with meetings defined on a specific frequency. This matching will support the participants through the period of their implementation activity.

What is this survey?

One aim of the EU-JAMRAI 2 WP7 is to support partners in the implementation of IPC core components at national and local level with an overarching goal to peer-to-peer support between IPC professionals across Europe and to build relationships with European expert mentors.  This program is carried out in close collaboration with EUCIC.
