GLORIA is an international collaboration aiming to reduce and prevent antibiotic exposure. GLORIA encompasses 3 complementary research lines addressing inappropriate antibiotic use and pollution. Specifically, GLORIA will deliver innovations on: 1) the impact of vaccination on inappropriate antibiotic use, 2) point-of-care diagnostic technology to differentiate between bacterial and viral infections, and 3) affordable water monitoring technology to detect and prevent the spread of antibiotics in the environment. Consequently, GLORIA will work towards achieving equitable health and improving the health outlook of society. Thus, our program is aligned with one of the main objectives of the Knowledge and Innovation Agenda 2020-2023 Health & Care (KIA), its Central Mission, Mission I, and Mission II.

The success of GLORIA will contribute to reducing exposure to antibiotics in individuals and the environment. GLORIA will enable improved individual treatment outcomes in the countries where the program will be implemented and beyond, and will help curve the colossal healthcare expenditure against AMR in the near future. Furthermore, GLORIA will solidify the Health~Holland International Strategy by strengthening the global position of the Netherlands in the AMR field.
