CIHEAM Zaragoza has participated in a joint commission to give a new impulse to the partnership between CIHEAM and the International Organisation of Vine and Wine (OIV).

The two intergovernmental organizations have signed a new MoU to establish a future joint working framework to overcome the new challenges faced by winegrowing systems, especially in matters concerning mitigation and adaptation to climate change and sustainable development.

The renewal of the partnership agreement, signed for the first time in 2006, will reinforce the exchange of scientific and technical knowledge between the two organizations. The main areas of interest include wine tourism, rural development and reduction of the environmental impact of winegrowing activities, as well as issues related to quality, competitiveness, new technologies, digitalization and inclusion in the winegrowing sector.

Joint activities will include:

  • Advanced courses for continuous and specialized learning in the wine sector.
  • Seminars and technical meetings to identify needs and work out solutions in research, development and innovation in the wine sector.
  • Collaboration in the framework of projects and networks devoted to research, development, innovation and technical assistance.
  • Organization and participation in international fora and conferences.

Last year, CIHEAM Zaragoza and the OIV organized a joint scientific session at COP 27 on the resilience of viticulture to climate change in the Mediterranean.
