Within the framework of the EC funded project VITAGLOBAL an online meeting was carried out on March 23rd, 2020. Current problems and challenges caused by the pandemic situation all over the world were discussed during the meeting. It was mentioned that they hinder the project implementation process. Consequently, meeting under the project that was planned in Uruguay in June was cancelled. During the online meeting the project coordinator also announced about the extension of the project with the period of a year, though, the working teams created under the project, working on 6 study modules, will continue their work via the online meetings.   

VITAGLOBAL is the EC co-funded project that provides internationalization of the Viticulture-Winemaking MA program. Except for the European partners (Spain, France, Portugal) the project members are the universities of Latin America (Argentina, Chile, Uruguay) and South Africa.
