Sustainable Wine Intensive Week
The Sustainable Wine Intensive Week is an intensive program for master's students from Circle U. partner universities. This week-long experience brings together students from different countries to tackle real-world challenges posed by local stakeholders in Tuscany’s wine and agribusiness sectors.
The programme, with contents both in Italian and English, is structured in two phases:
- Online Phase – Introductory seminars will provide students with key insights into the local wine industry and its challenges, laying the groundwork for practical activities.
- In-Person Phase – Participants will then spend a week in Tuscany, engaging in field visits to wineries, agritourism enterprises, and rural projects, applying their knowledge to real-world contexts.
Students will be divided into international teams to work on specific challenges provided by local companies. These challenges will focus on current issues in the wine industry, encouraging teams to collaborate and propose innovative solutions.
The Wine Week offers a blend of theoretical learning and hands-on activities, combining:
- Seminars and lectures led by industry experts.
- Field visits to local wineries and agritourism sites.
- Team presentations of proposed solutions at the end of the program.
With its focus on collaboration, innovation, and experiential learning, the Tuscany Wine Week offers students a unique opportunity to contribute to the wine sector’s future while developing practical skills and building international networks.
