The ŒNOVITI INTERNATIONAL network and the ŒNODOC program enable academic and industrial partners to come together to address the research challenges in œnology and viticulture. Emphasis is given to the set-up of joint projects and on student mobility. Several thematics are already dealt with (climate,change, quality of grapes and wines, biotechnologies, etc.). Ten doctorate students benefit from the ŒNODOC program; they will thus take advantage of the various skills existing in the universities laboratories and the R&D departments of the partner industries. I am particularly happy to be able to contribute to this action in the name of the University of Bordeaux.
