Institution-building

We were in the particular situation of being in charge of the planning and building of our research facilities in the early days of our careers.

• 1990 - 1991 Phytosanitary equipment and laboratories of the new IAM (650 m2 laboratory and 450 m2 glasshouses), BOKU, Muthgasse 18, Vienna, Austria.
• 1994 - 1995 Coordination, Planning and Construction of an insect-proof screenhouse (600 m2) for the conservation of elite material of virus-free Rosaceous fruit trees. This site is also used for the experimentation with transgenic plants, since in Austria so far no release to the open field has been approved (www.boku.sicherheitsforschung.at). A second screenhouse is currently in the planning phase (2012 – 2015).
