Working together on science to shape the future of viticulture and wine: meeting the sector’s needs and supporting it through its technical, environmental, regulatory, economic, social and health-related developments.

Organise around four main areas of focus

  • Research and Innovation,
  • Excellence in Education,
  • Knowledge Sharing,
  • International Influence,

Drawing on the support of its patrons, in the fields of science and, more broadly, the wine industry, the ISVV has set out four key priorities for the future:

ISVV Climate & Sustainability

  • Adapting to climate change
  • Biodiversity
  • Regenerative viticulture and by-products from the vineyard

ISVV Talents

  • Scholarships and international mobility
  • Entrepreneurship and lifelong learning
  • Equal opportunities

ISVV Innovation & Research

  • Research chairs and projects
  • State-of-the-art equipment
  • PhD students and postdoctoral researchers

ISVV Radiation

  • Conferences and scientific events
  • Outreach and knowledge-sharing with the general public
  • International influence

The expected short- and medium-term impacts include gaining an understanding of the major changes taking place within the sector through multidisciplinary studies and analyses; strengthening support, training and the sharing of expertise for the benefit of the entire sector; and promoting a culture of science amongst the general public.

 

Supporting the ISVV means,

Supporting the launch of emerging interdisciplinary projects

Investing in equipment and facilities for research and training

 To establish new chairs and attract promising new talent and researchers from around the world

 Provide training through summer schools, enable every young person to find their path within the discipline, and recruit new research-active teachers

 Take part in communication and training initiatives for the sector (seminars, conferences) and the general public (Vendanges du savoir)

Being a patron also means,

 Being a patron also means actively participating in large-scale, collaboratively developed, multidisciplinary projects that can provide concrete solutions to your industrial needs and support your CSR approach

 To expand one’s network, and thereby work alongside other key players in the wine industry, meet leading scientists and researchers, and forge lasting partnerships

 To be part of a community of change-makers and take part in high-impact initiatives

 

 

 Cultivating a positive brand image by positioning the company as a socially responsible organisation, both internally amongst staff and externally amongst the general public

 Increase visibility by showcasing the sponsor across a wide range of communication channels (website, social media, newsletters, brochures, meetings and events, etc.)

 To enhance its appeal to students, identify the talent of tomorrow and facilitate future recruitment

 Allocate a portion of your tax, with a tax relief of up to 60 per cent of corporation tax

 

The ISVV, in collaboration with the Bordeaux University Foundation, is therefore appealing to patrons to support this project. Furthermore, as part of a recognition programme, we are organising specific initiatives to thank you for your support.
