The TARDISS project was launched on September 1, and the Kickoff meeting of the project has already taken place on the Wooster campus of The Ohio State University. To ensure that everyone can join, the meeting was hybrid and could be joined online and in person. The meeting was attended by the deans of two colleges (College of Food, Agricultural, and Environmental Sciences - Cathann A. Kress; College of Engineering - Ayanna Howard). Two associate deans and the Chair of FABE, Scott Shearer, attended the meeting in person.
