The BioEffective Surfaces for Transport (BEST) Network aims to understand the challenges and advance the development and deployment of antimicrobial materials for mass transport, ensuring a safer and cleaner environment for travel.  

​

We are an exciting multidisciplinary community of UK scientists, engineers, transport professionals, technologists, industrialists and regulators, aiming to enhance hygiene strategies and deploy evidence-based antimicrobial surface treatments across all transport modes. 

​

 The network is led by Manchester Metropolitan University and Queen's University Belfast, funded for 3 years by the Engineering and Physical Sciences

Research Council (EPSRC). 

 

Join us in shaping the future of antimicrobial solutions.​
