Intergia’s colleagues participated, on behalf of the LIFE CLIMAWIN consortium, in the 46th edition of the World Congress of Vine and Wine, organized by the OIV in the city of Chisinau, Moldova. The event took place between June 16 and 20, bringing together leading specialists and experts from around the world in the Moldovan capital: winegrowers, oenologists, scientists, economists, legal experts, health and safety experts, and experts in any other field related to wine production.
During the week-long conference, presentations were given and scientific posters were displayed on topics related to oenology, viticulture, economics, law, and health and safety. There were also some side events to discover the wines of the Republic of Moldova and the Balkan countries. We were able to learn about native grapes such as Feteasca Neagra, Feteasca Regala, Rara Neagra, Viorica, Feteasca Alba… And taste wines that are every bit as good as those we are used to in Western Europe.
We also had the opportunity to visit the Moldovan wineries Chateau Vartely, with its vineyards and beautiful wine tourism complex, and Cricova, with its impressive underground tunnels.
With regard to the scientific activity we carried out at the Congress, in addition to listening to interesting presentations and making contacts, the LIFE CLIMAWIN project team gave three presentations on the project: two by Nieves García Casarejos, from the University of Zaragoza, leader of work package 5 on Sustainability, replication, and exploitation of project results, and another by Cristina Escriche Martínez, from Intergia, leader of work package 4 on the Implementation of smart energy management in the winery and vineyard.
The titles of the oral presentations were as follows:
- LIFE CLIMAWIN: Impacts and opportunities in the transition to sustainable viticulture.
- Socioeconomic impacts of the LIFE CLIMAWIN project from the perspective of employees.
- Smart microgrid: how to reduce costs and CO2 emissions in wineries and vineyards.
