Objectives
The main objective of the project is to create and strengthen cooperation between European institutions in the field of education. The project focuses on high-quality activities and practices to mitigate the negative impacts of climate change. The project will provide a complex approach to improve the effectiveness of knowledge transfer on the interactions between viticulture and climate change. Therefore, the planned activities of the cooperation will respond to the common needs and priorities of viticulture and wine education. In particular, the objectives are: Supporting transnational education systems and mobility. The project aims to improve cooperation between different European universities/institutions. The common e-learning platform will offer participants the opportunity to enjoy high- quality teaching. Enrich students' knowledge with up-to-date information on the general aspects of climate change. Improve students' knowledge about the characteristics of traditional wine regions and the country-specific interactions associated with climate change. A deeper understanding of the brands, wine philosophies and cultural heritage of these regions will ensure an appreciation of the different local factors (environmental and human) that influence them.
