The National Doctoral Programme in Infection and Antibiotics (NDPIA) aims to connect research environments studying infection and antibiotics at major Swedish universities and institutes and internationally by offering advanced training courses and meetings that promote scientific research and recruitment of young scientists. Read more here »

• Advanced courses (national and international) with theoretical and technical relevance to infection biology and antibiotics
• Travel grants for short research stays in Sweden and abroad to promote a personal exchange of scientific knowledge that benefits research of the applicant and their research environment
• Biannual meeting held jointly with the Swedish National Network for Infection Biology and the Swedish Society for Microbiology that gives an opportunity to present and discuss your research
• Co-funding for travel and accommodations for participation in our activities
• A national and international network of scientists at all levels that work within infection biology and antibiotics

PhD students and postdoctoral fellows may become NDPIA members if they are enrolled at a Swedish university/institute or with one of our international partners and if they are active in research on infections and/or antimicrobials. Read more here »

If you do not fulfill the criteria for membership but would like to participate in our courses and other activities, you may become an associate NDPIA member. Read more here »

To register as a member or an associate member, you must complete and submit this application form.

There are no costs to become a member and all courses and the biannual meeting are free to attend. Co-funding is available for travel and accommodations needed to participate in a course not given at your home university.

Some courses are registered PhD courses at a Swedish University and credits for these courses can be accepted as credits at your home university.

For courses established within the NDPIA program and for workshops/symposiums hosted by NDPIA, a certificate of attendance is given to a student and can be used to request approval from your examiner at your home university. The certificate represents a special syllabus and states the course content/overview, what was learned, as well as suggested credit points.

All courses established within NDPIA are taught in English.

When a course is open for registration, a registration form and instructions on how to register for the course will be posted on the course description page. You can find all courses listed here »

NDPIA members may apply for co-funding to support travel and accommodation costs to participate in NDPIA activities when an activity is held at a university/institute other than their own. How to apply can be found at the following links depending on whether it is a national or international course.

NDPIA would like to promote upcoming thesis defences of participants as news posts at www.ndpia.se. Therefore, NDPIA PhD students are strongly encouraged to provide debra.l.milton@umu.se with information on their upcoming defence (university, title, name of opponent, date, time, venue and a short text in English describing the main findings), preferentially a couple of weeks before the defence will take place.

The NDPIA programme links the infection and antibiotic research environments of six Swedish regions to provide an advanced training programme that promotes scientific research and the recruitment of young scientists to this research area. The universities and institutes involved are found here.

In addition, NDPIA is linked to international research centres and networks also working in the area of infection biology and antibiotics and these international centres may be found here.
