Dr. Goldfarb and Dr. Brown informed themselves about the establishment of a bioeconomy center with TUMCS as a positive example. They are currently working with the U.S. National Science Foundation in the project “Upstate 2.0” on a concept for a sustainability transformation of agriculture and forestry in the region of Upstate New York. Key topics include new approaches to forestry, sustainable fuel production and teaching with a focus on bioeconomy. Dr. Goldfarb and Dr. Brown were impressed by the topics dealt with in both research and teaching at TUMCS and the interdisciplinary approach, the speed of development of the campus and the associated performance and commitment of all those involved. With TUMCS, they had found the ideal template for their planned project, as Dr. Goldfarb summarized.
