The AMAST (AMR in Agrifood Systems Transdisciplinary) Network brings together the UK’s agri-food research community working on antimicrobial resistance (AMR) across the crop, livestock, and aquaculture sectors. The network fosters transdisciplinary collaboration and engagement with industry, trade associations, policymakers, and academia to strengthen AMR research and innovation within food production systems. It is led by Professor Matthew Gilmour (Quadram Institute) and Dr K. Marie McIntyre (Newcastle University).

CLIMAR is one of eight UKRI-funded networks looking to tackle AMR. The networks will support diverse teams of AMR researchers, ranging from specialists in agriculture, food and the environment to human and animal medicine, policy and behavioural studies, engineering and social science. Together we are developing new partnerships and approaches to tackling AMR across sectors and disciplines, including culture, economics, behaviour, biomedical and physical sciences, design and engineering, environmental sciences and more.  Find out more about these sister networks.

The Fungal One Health and Antimicrobial Resistance Network is a transdisciplinary group of scientists, clinicians, crop protection professionals, veterinarians, one health experts, social scientists, policy makers and other stakeholders with a shared goal of finding innovative solutions for the rapidly escalating threat of antifungal resistance. Funded by UKRI, the network acts as a forum for communication and discussion with the public, policy makers, practitioners, and people with lived experience. 

The Futures AMR Network (FAN) is a dynamic, interdisciplinary community dedicated to supporting early-career researchers working on antimicrobial resistance (AMR). FAN brings together expertise across fields—from behavioural economics and life sciences to engineering, social sciences, the arts, and chemistry—to tackle AMR challenges in agrifood health, environment, and medicine. By fostering collaboration, mentorship, and innovation, FAN aims to empower its members to lead and shape the next generation of AMR solutions. 

The ARREST-AMR Network (Accurate, Rapid, Robust and Economical One Health Diagnostics for AMR) connects researchers, developers, clinicians, regulators, and policymakers across human, animal, plant, and environmental health. It is focused on accelerating the development, validation, and implementation of fit-for-purpose diagnostics for AMR, while working alongside regulatory bodies to ensure safe, usable, and impactful technologies. The network draws on expertise in diverse fields, from molecular biology, environmental science, and engineering to social science, health economics, and AI/ML — to address diagnostic needs across sectors.

IMPACT AMR: a Transdisciplinary Network seeks to engage researchers, policymakers, civil society, and industry to tackle key policy questions around antimicrobial resistance (AMR) mitigation and adaptation strategies. Through collaborative evaluation and consultation, the network will prioritise interventions that are feasible, socially acceptable, and economically beneficial for reducing AMR burden across One Health settings. The network is led by Professor Clare Chandler (London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine). 

The TARGetAMR (Transdisciplinary Antimicrobial Resistance Genomics) network is a UK-wide initiative leveraging advances in genomics to strengthen AMR surveillance, diagnostics, and infection control across human and animal health. It aims to bring together researchers, clinicians, policymakers, and technical experts to foster collaboration, address ethical and economic challenges, and translate genomic insights into actionable strategies.
