Every year, the Network gathers around two main events: The OENOVITI International Symposium and the General Assembly.
The Symposium focuses on a different thematic every year, agreed by the members during the previous General Assembly.
This event is open to all OENOVITI Partners and members of the general public interested in the thematic. It is a chance for speakers to present their research on the theme, and for academics and members of the private sector to come together to discuss related topics and issues.
An official journal is usually published at the Symposium and disseminated among members.
The annual Symposium is usually followed by the OENOVITI Network General Assembly, where the different working groups gather to discuss their activities and the general administration of the network and projects are addressed.
While facing the restriction due to pandemic, the network started feeling the urge to develop new ways to stay connected in spite of the isolation. That is how a new format of online conferences emerged: the Mini Symposia and the Sprint Meetings.
As previously announced, we had planned the 2020 Symposium and General Assembly in Ukraine, and had to postpone them due to COVID-19. After a survey among OENOVITI Members, and a discussion with the Executive Committee, we have decided to postpone these meetings to May 2021. A date will be announced later on, and the events will be confirmed by January 2021 depending on the sanitary situation at the time.
The 8th Symposium of the OENOVITI International Network and 12th General Assembly took place on 13th and 14th May 2019, in Athens, Greece.
The 7th Symposium of the OENOVITI International Network took place on 25th April 2018 in Mendoza, Argentina. It was the first Symposium of the network being organised outside of Europe.
