Nel 1930, il "Premio dell'Ufficio Internazionale del Vino" viene creato per ricompensare 3 categorie diverse di pubblicazioni mediante l'attribuzione di una somma di denaro destinata a incoraggiare la ricerca.
1ª) "lo studio delle questioni inerenti alla chimica vinicola e all'enologia",
2ª) "la miglior opera originale su una procedura in grado di rilevare l'aggiunta di zucchero al mosto o al vino",
3ª) "le migliori opere riguardanti il vino".
In an effort to keep the pace of the digitalisation process that is currently affecting all sectors of the economy, including the international public sector, the OIV intends to contract a consultant/partner to collaborate on the design and planification of a comprehensive and detailed strategy of digital transformation of the organisation.
Behind this project there is the awareness that the OIV needs a global view on IT projects to update and optimise its capacity and efficiency in terms of both internal/external communication with its stakeholders and data/information management.
Con l’obiettivo di adeguarsi alle eccezionali circostanze attuali, l’OIV introduce delle misure derogatorie relative alla distribuzione geografica dei giurati dei concorsi internazionali.
Durante questa fase transitoria, l’OIV sostiene l’attività del settore vitivinicolo invitando i concorsi a ricorrere ad assaggiatori provenienti dal proprio paese. Con l’intenzione di lanciare un forte segnale internazionale in questi tempi tormentati, l’OIV non solo consente, ma raccomanda agli organizzatori di ricorrere ad assaggiatori provenienti dal proprio paese che abbiano esperienze verificabili in concorsi internazionali. Le ragioni di tale iniziativa istituzionale sono da ricercarsi nella consapevolezza della necessità di ridurre gli spostamenti per limitare la propagazione del virus.
Tale misura derogatoria temporanea sarà di applicazione dal 6 maggio 2020 al 31 dicembre 2021.

È con rammarico che dobbiamo informarvi della cancellazione/rinvio del 43º Congresso mondiale della vigna e del vino dell'Organizzazione internazionale della vigna e del vino, che avrebbe dovuto celebrarsi nel 2020 a Santiago del Cile (Cile). Abbiamo ricevuto contestualmente la comunicazione dell'Uzbekistan di voler rinviare il congresso previsto per il 2021 a Samarcanda.
Il Congresso mondiale della vigna e del vino rappresenta un momento cruciale delle attività dell'OIV. Ospitato storicamente ogni anno da uno dei 47 Stati membri dell'Organizzazione, il congresso è un luogo di incontro per scienziati di diverse discipline e di condivisione di opinioni e conoscenze. È l'occasione per presentare i risultati dei lavori svolti negli ambiti della viticoltura, dell'enologia, dell'economia e dello sviluppo normativo del settore, nonché della sicurezza alimentare e degli effetti sulla salute.
Per il 2020, scienziati provenienti da tutto il mondo erano stati invitati in Cile per presentare i propri lavori e condividere le proprie esperienze sul tema “Adattamento a nuovi scenari: le sfide della produzione, della società e del mercato”.
L'OIV sta lavorando a nuove modalità di promozione dei congressi in modo da compensare la cancellazione di questi convegni nei prossimi due anni. Maggiori informazioni verranno comunicate a tempo debito.
Nel frattempo, è possibile consultare le pubblicazioni degli abstract dei passati congressi al seguente link.
A nome del comitato organizzativo in Cile e del Segretariato dell'OIV, cogliamo l'occasione per ringraziarvi dell'attenzione e speriamo di poter contare sulla vostra partecipazione al prossimo Congresso mondiale della vigna e del vino.
Restiamo a disposizione per qualsiasi domanda che vorrete porci al riguardo scrivendo a papers[at]oiv.int.
Riguardatevi.
I più cordiali saluti da parte dell’OIV.
