We are delighted to announce that registration is now open for the GW4 AMR Alliance Networking and Bid Development Workshop.
This year’s workshop is open to all GW4-based academics and investigators (including final-year doctoral students) with an interest in antimicrobial resistance (AMR), from any discipline. The event will provide an opportunity to:
-
Network and meet new collaborators across GW4,
-
Brainstorm and discuss AMR challenges,
-
Scope ideas for new cross-institutional collaborative projects and communities.
The workshop is aligned with the upcoming GW4 Generator Fund 2026 call (opening November 2025).
Workshop highlights include:
-
Icebreaker lightning talks to introduce your research,
-
World café-style roundtable discussions on AMR challenges proposed by participants, to scope ideas for potential GW4 Generator and Development Awards (or other funding schemes),
-
Updates on GW4 funding opportunities,
-
Update on the GW4 AMR cross-institutional mentorship programme and career development discussions,
-
Launch of our online interdisciplinary AMR research discussion sessions for 2026.
Key information:
-
Register here by 28 October 2025.
-
Places will be confirmed by 31 October 2025 (following a light-touch review to ensure balanced representation across themes, career stages, and institutions).
- There are some limited funds available to enable Penryn campus-based investigators living in Cornwall to stay in the hotel on the evening of 19 November.
If you have any questions about the event or the registration process, please contact us at amr@gw4.ac.uk.
We look forward to receiving your registrations and welcoming you to the workshop.
