WINETWORK

"Winetwork is a European collaborative project for the exchange and transfer of innovative knowledge between European wine-growing regions to increase the productivity and sustainability of the sector. Over 3 years, 11 partners from 7"&" European countries will exchange their knowledge about two important diseases in vineyards: vine trunk diseases and flavesence dorée. These diseases are well known in many vineyards and have spread for several years in different European countries, so they have great economic importance in the European wine industry As many winegrowers are testing innovative and sustainable approaches to combat these diseases, it is very beneficial to capture these ideas and share them between European countries. The project approach is based on interactions between a network of facilitating agents, regional working groups and two scientific working groups. This participatory approach will allow the transfer of scientific results and practical knowledge to materials adapted to end users. This network will promote interactions between scientists and professionals to gather and share experiences and knowledge of the different actors from the main European wine producing regions. The project will also identify the most important issues to be addressed after the end of the project, offering important opportunities for replication and sustainability of the network created. "The Winetwork project will directly and regularly involve around 180 people to collect, identify and synthesize best practices and research results from across Europe to present and share it to the entire community."
