Bamboo in Acre, Brasil - Cooperation and map of competences

Last week a exploratory visit in Acre, Brazil, was organized. In order to extend our network in South America, several research institutions and private companies willing to work with bamboo were consulted. One of the next steps will be a map of competences in bamboo research on state level. This step should help to coordinate development activities in the regional bamboo sector as well as clearly define research topics of each partner. Abroad investors as well as our German home institution (University Hamburg) will prospectively benefit of these infrastructure overview. Among a number of innovative ideas in the private sector, a special meeting with institutional representatives resulted in a possible cooperation between Paraná State University, Acre State University and University Hamburg.
