Lors de sa création en 1930, le « Prix de l’Office International du Vin» vise à récompenser 3 catégories différentes de publications, par l’attribution d’une somme d’argent destinée à encourager la recherche.
1°) « l’étude des questions intéressant la chimie vinicole et l’oenologie »,
2°) « le meilleur travail original sur un procédé permettant de déceler l’adjonction du sucre au moût ou au vin »,
3°) « les meilleurs travaux intéressant le vin »
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.
Dans le souci de s'adapter à la situation exceptionnelle actuelle, l'OIV introduit des mesures dérogatoires concernant la dispersion géographique des jurés des concours internationaux.
L’OIV soutient l'activité du secteur vitivinicole en invitant les concours à recourir à des dégustateurs ressortissants nationaux durant cette période transitoire. Soucieuse de porter un message institutionnel fort dans ces temps de trouble, l’OIV non seulement permet, mais enjoint, les organisateurs à faire appel à des dégustateurs ressortissants nationaux ayant une expérience avérée des concours internationaux. Cette réponse institutionnelle s’inscrit dans une prise de conscience de la nécessité de réduire les déplacements afin de limiter la propagation du virus.
Cette mesure dérogatoire temporaire s’étend du 6 mai 2020 au 31 décembre 2021.
L’Organisation mondiale de la vigne et du vin a le regret de vous informer de l’annulation/du report du 43ème Congrès mondial de la vigne et du vin qui devait se tenir en 2020 à Santiago du Chili. Nous avons également été informés par l’Ouzbékistan de son souhait de reporter le Congrès prévu en 2021 à Samarkand.
Le Congrès mondial de la vigne et du vin représente un moment clé de la vie de l’OIV. Habituellement célébré chaque année sur invitation d’un des 47 États membres, ce Congrès constitue un lieu de rencontre et d’échange de points de vue et de connaissances pour des scientifiques de différents horizons. Y sont présentés les résultats de travaux menés dans les domaines de la viticulture, de l’œnologie, de l’économie et des développements réglementaires du secteur, ainsi que sur la sécurité des aliments et les impacts sur la santé.
Pour 2020, des scientifiques du monde entier avaient été invités au Chili pour présenter leurs travaux et partager leur expérience sur la thématique : « Adaptation aux nouveaux scénarios : les défis de la production, de la société et du marché ».
L’OIV travaille actuellement sur une manière de promouvoir les congrès sous un autre format afin de compenser l’annulation de ces réunions les deux prochaines années. De plus amples informations seront communiquées en temps utile.
Entre-temps, vous pouvez consulter ici les résumés des communications des congrès précédents.
Au nom du comité d’organisation au Chili et du Secrétariat de l'OIV, nous vous remercions de votre attention et espérons pouvoir vous retrouver au prochain Congrès mondial de la vigne et du vin.
Nous restons à votre entière disposition pour toute autre question à ce sujet sur papers[at]oiv.int.
Prenez bien soin de vous ; l’OIV vous prie de recevoir ses sincères salutations.
