ROADMAP project has 17 partners and the composition of the consortium makes it possible to build an interdisciplinary framework that combines different perspectives on AMU from social sciences, economics and animal and veterinary sciences. Research teams of ROADMAP are embedded within interdisciplinary research departments or faculties where social scientists work together with animal scientists. From an academic perspective, ROADMAP benefits from the expertise of leading teams in Europe on research on AMR and animal health. The consortium also includes numerous organizations involved in advisory, applied research and/or innovation and knowledge transfer activities.

INRAE - French National Institute for Agriculture, Food and Environment​

​INRAE is the French National Research Institute for Agriculture, Food and Environment. It uses research, innovation, and support for public policies as tools to guide the emergence of sustainable agricultural and food production systems. The institute aims to carry out science dedicated to life, humans, and the Earth that uncovers solutions to our most pressing concerns. Further information could be found here.
INRAE’s researchers, together with colleagues from INRAE’s linked third parties (ENVT and ONIRIS – see below) are involved in many tasks and carry out activities for the French case-study. In particular, we are conducting interviews, surveys, stakeholder mappings, Living-Labs, and economic and impact assessments in three main production sectors in France (pig, poultry and dairy industries). INRAE is also the coordinator of ROADMAP. We are therefore highly involved in all project management activities together with INRAE Transfer.
