ImmunoHUB Engages the Public with Escape Room on Antimicrobial Resistance at European Researchers’ Night 2024

On 29 September 2024, the ImmunoHUB team took part in the European Researchers’ Night at i3S, captivating visitors with an interactive and educational Escape Room activity centered on the critical issue of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). The event, part of a Europe-wide initiative to bring science closer to the public, drew a diverse audience eager to explore scientific challenges in an engaging and hands-on way.

The Escape Room, designed by the ImmunoHUB team, transported participants into a high-stakes scenario where they had to solve puzzles and scientific challenges to halt the spread of a superbug. As participants navigated the activity, they learned about the mechanisms of antimicrobial resistance, the consequences of misuse of antibiotics, and the urgent need for research and action to combat this global health threat.

The activity was a resounding success, with attendees of all ages expressing enthusiasm for the innovative way science was presented. The Escape Room not only raised awareness about AMR but also highlighted ImmunoHUB’s commitment to engaging the community in critical research topics and fostering a dialogue between scientists and the public.

ImmunoHUB team thanks all participants and visitors who joined us for this memorable event.
