The research in Eindhoven is part of an international program.
International cooperation is needed for real succes.
The research in Eindhoven has never been done in isolation. The role of a University in the West is to assist other institutes and individuals in developing countries. Exchange of information to users in the field is an essential activity. It does not make any sense to leave the research report on the shelf. Eindhoven University has been involved in the National Bamboo Project in Costa Rica as supervisor.
