IVES annual meeting 2023

Once a year IVES organises the IVES annual meeting. The annual meeting is divided into different highlights. It includes the General assembly of IVES, the editorial board meetings of our 3 media and a Science meeting with cutting-edge conferences focused on technical topics of interest to professionals.

In 2023, the 7th edition of the IVES annual meeting was held on 31 January and 1 and 2 February, in Portugal. This year, the meeting was hosted by 2 members and partners of the association: The Universidade de Trás-os-Montes e Alto Douro (UTAD) and Sogrape.

The last day was dedicated to the IVES Science meeting. The objective of this meeting was to exchange about ongoing and new projects related to the vine and wine sector. During this day, 6 researchers shared their work on viticulture and enology. Discover the presentations of Hans Reiner Schultz, Stéphanie Marchand-Marion, Sara Bernardo, Jordi Ballester, Simone Vincenzi and Fernando Zamora!
