vWISE is a RISE in the field of viticulture and oenology, which focuses on the consequences and solutions to the impact of climatic change on vines, grapes and wines: in particular on abiotic stress on vines and grape quality and ripening with genetic exploitation, reduction of alcohol level in wine by adapted yeasts and engineering process, adapted microorganisms to prevent spoilage, wine quality changes and sensorial preservation. Climate change represents a considerable threat to the wine industry in Europe that has social and economic consequences. This RISE comprises of 13 partners from France, Spain, Italy, Portugal, Germany, Argentina, Australia, Chile and South Africa. The team is internationally recognized, highly qualified and employ cutting-edge technologies and emergent techniques. Synergies and complementarities between the research teams are already efficient and will develop further through the network. The vWISE will: -focus on innovation to develop methods tools and standards to help assess the impact of climate change scenarios and adaptation responses, -permit 39 researchers mobilities with interweaving approaches in the increasingly sophisticated techniques required to gain insights into vines, grapes and microorganisms metabolism and to develop novel methods to fight against climatic changes and to give advances on wine authenticity, -improve understanding of climate change and linkages with sustainable development, -improve safety and biodiversity. - Researchers will be able to integrate multi-level approaches to make conceptual advances in the field with the international network, helping them to acquire operational experience, new knowledge, scientific methods and transferable skills that will ensure opportunities and career perspectives in R&D departments or management in private companies. vWISE will make careers in European oenosciences and viticulture more attractive to scientists (young, junior and senior) after their mobilities.

SHIP2FAIR aims to foster the integration of solar heat in industrial processes (SHIP) from the agro–food sector, by developing and demonstrating a set of tools and methods for the development of industrial solar heat projects during its whole life-cycle. Thus, the project results will consist in a (1) Replication tool for easily assessing the techno-economic feasibility of a SHIP project and supporting its design; (2) a Control tool understand as a DSS to support the operation of the complete process, (3) a comprehensive guide for supporting stakeholders in the design, commissioning and operation of their SHIP projects, and (4) a complete capacity building program, addressing both professionals and students interested in SHIP applications in the agro-food sector. These results will be demonstrated and validated at 4 demo-sites, including representative use cases of the agro-food sector like spirits distillation (Martini & Rossi), ham drying (ABC Industries), sugar boiling (RAR Group) and wine fermentation and stabilization (RODA Wineries). As a results of this demonstration, SHIP2FAIR, aims to achieve up to a 40% of solar fraction with a total of 2.9 kW of installed power for producing 4.04 GWh and allowing 403 m3 of fossil fuels and 1,145 TeqCO2 per year. In order to fulfil these challenges a competitive consortium of EU leading entities has been gathered including 4 RTOs (CIRCE, CEA, ISMB and BE2020) 2 Engineering companies (RINA-C and SOLID), 2 Solar Technology Providers (TVP and ISG) and, 4 agro-food companies already mentioned, 2 sectorial associations (EUREC and SCOOP) and one Utility (EDF), addressing the complete SHIP projects value-chain.
