Symposium 2018
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.
Events
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.
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.
The annual Symposium is usually followed by the OENOVITI Network General Assembly, where the different work groups gather to discuss their activities, and the general administration of the network and projects are addressed.
Following the COVID-19 pandemic, the Network has also decided to increase its online presence with the launch of a new format of events in 2021: the Mini-Symposia and Sprint Meetings.
