Technical-Scientific Committee
The Committee is made of 29 members. 13 of them are representative of the scientific world, and 13 are technicians and directors of vine and wine enterprises. The technicians ensure that the themes dealt with be concrete and practical, while the researchers’ presence grants that the adopted solutions will be correct.
The Committee is completed by two governmental representatives: a professional appointed by the Ministry for Agricultural, Food and Forestry Policies – National Commission for the Integrated Defense, and a representative of the Regions. One of the Committee’s objectives is in fact also dealing with regulations and problems at all levels, communitarian, national and regional.
The Committee is chaired by a president appointed by the Board of Directors of Unione Italiana Vini.
- Vine physiology and genetics
- Mechanization
- Pathology and entomology
- Food and wine macro-biology
- Environmental ecology
- Economics and marketing
For specific items, both in the vine and in the wine field, the Committee asks for the help of external experts, chosen according to the need. In this way a wider cooperation is ensured and many experts, both technical and scientific ones, are involved.
The members of the Committee will be in rotation, for having a wide contribution of ideas and experiences, as well as a strong involvement of all the Italian vine and wine operators’ world.
