Launched in 2010 and coordinated by the University of Bordeaux (Institut du Vin et de la Vigne - ISVV), the ŒNOVITI INTERNATIONAL network is the first international research and training network in oenology and viticulture. It currently has over 60 partners (universities, research centres, industry) in 23 different countries.
The network
Created on the initiative of Professor Pierre-Louis TEISSEDRE (University of Bordeaux, ISVV), the ŒNOVITI INTERNATIONAL network forms an international consortium of institutions recognised for their excellence in terms of training and research in oenology and viticulture.
At the origin of this network, the ŒNODOC joint doctorate programme was created with the aim of developing an international doctorate, specific to the oenology-viticulture sector. This international collaboration has since expanded to form ŒNOVITI INTERNATIONAL.
Pierre-Louis TEISSEDRE, University of Bordeaux (ISVV), professor of oenology
The creation of the OENOVITI INTERNATIONAL network and the OENODOC programme enable the academic and industrial worlds to work together on research challenges in oenology and viticulture. The creation of joint projects between partners on a wide range of topics is encouraged, as is student mobility. A number of doctoral students are benefiting from the skills available in the laboratories of the universities and industries in the network. I am delighted to be able to contribute to this initiative for the Bordeaux region.

Missions
The main aim of the ŒNOVITI INTERNATIONAL network is to encourage exchanges of know-how and expertise between players in the world of wine, academia and industry, and to increase opportunities for joint training and research projects, as well as opportunities for exchanges (meetings, events, etc.). The network now brings together the leading international research institutions in oenology and viticulture, giving its members a high profile on the international stage.
Dr. Álvaro S. GONZALEZ, Head of Research and Development at the Centre for Research and Innovation, Viña Concha y Toro (Chili)
The vision of the Viña Concha y Toro Research and Innovation Centre is clear: to promote applied research, technological development and knowledge transfer, covering the global challenges and opportunities presented by the wine industry: strengthening plant materials, water resources and climate change, grape and wine quality assessment, the intelligent wine industry and new product design. ŒNOVITI International gives us the opportunity to interact with researchers and players from around the world, increasing the chances of collaboration.

Alliance BAGThe Alliance BAG (Bordeaux/Adelaide/Geisenheim) was founded in October 2010 in partnership with the regional councils of the Land of Hesse in Germany and the Regional Council of New Aquitaine.
The main theme covers continuing education in vine and wine and technology transfer through the creation of a virtual campus bringing together the University of Bordeaux- ISVV, the AWRI -Australian Wine Research Institute- in Adelaide, and the University of Geisenheim in Germany.
This strategic partnership in international research facilitates the exchange of personnel, ideas and information between the universities and various stakeholders. Other institutes wishing to join the BAG alliance are welcome to do so.
Study topics include the aromatic components of wine, diseases and parasites, traces of yeast strains and other micro-organisms, sustainable development and climate change.
The BAG alliance aims to study global environmental issues (climate change, water scarcity) in relation to the impact of wine production. The institutes bring together top-level international expertise combined with cutting-edge technological equipment. The meetings organised by the BAG Alliance create links between the international scientific community and pave the way for a new era of innovation in vine and wine sciences.
