The Faculty of Agriculture at Universitas Gadjah Mada (Faperta UGM), led by Prof. Dr. Ir. Siti Subandiyah, M.Agr.Sc., has established a research collaboration with the Finnish Multidisciplinary Centre of Excellence in Antimicrobial Resistance Research (FIMAR), under the leadership of Prof. Marko Virta.
