European wine producers step their game up

Summary:

This issue of the research*eu Results Magazine presents eight relevant projects of high potential value for the European wine industry, while at the same time reflecting on the challenges ahead.

The special feature is followed by highlights across nine themes of research: health, society, energy, environment, aquatic resources, industry, information and communication technologies, security and fundamental research. The magazine closes with a list of upcoming events hosted by or involving EU-funded research projects.
