Important contribution for the science location Germany and Europe

Minister of Agriculture Dr. Till Backhaus (SPD) the new stable building for quarantine housing and small animal breeding of the Federal Research Center for Viral Diseases in Animals (BFAV) on the island of Riems near Greifswald. The building was handed over to the Federal Research Institute by the State Secretary of the Federal Ministry of Transport, Building and Housing, Thilo Braune, and Alexander Müller, State Secretary in the Federal Ministry of Consumer Protection.

"For a state like Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, investments by the federal government in forward-looking research areas are of great importance," emphasized Minister Backhaus. Industrial or medium-sized growth cores can only arise where the most modern research and development settle and enter into a fruitful coexistence with colleges, universities and institutes.

Agriculture Minister Backhaus expressly emphasized the close cooperation between the Federal Research Institute and the universities and other scientific institutions in the country. “This also makes an important contribution to the science location of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, but also to the whole of Germany and Europe,” said Minister Backhaus.

The Minister of Agriculture once again highlighted the achievements of Friedrich Loeffler (1852 - 1915), who founded the world's first virus research institute on the island of Riems in 1910. "The Federal Research Institute will build on Loeffler's work and work and continue his legacy in animal disease control and animal health," said Minister Backhaus.
