The call for the design of the Grape4vine project (Grape for vine: recycling grape wastes to protect grapevine from fungal pathogens) logo has been published. Grape4vine is a project financed by the Cariplo Foundation as part of the ”Circular Economy 2022″ call, aiming to exploit wine production waste to produce molecules (dsRNA) to control downy mildew and gray mold infections. Students of all Italian agricultural faculties have until midnight on April, 3th 2023 to present their projects. The projects presented will be evaluated by an examining commission and they will also be voted on the Grape4vine social platforms (Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter). The award ceremony will take place during the workshop “GENETIC AND BIOTECHNOLOGICAL APPROACHES FOR A GRAPEVINE INNOVATIVE DEFENSE AGAINST FUNGAL DISEASES” which will be held on April, 18th 2023 at 2.30 pm in the Aula Molon of the Department of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences of the University of Milan. The winner will be awarded with a certificate and a voucher worth 200 euros offered by the sponsor Diachem S.p.A.
