Plumpton College
Plumpton College is the United Kingdom’s centre of excellence in wine education, training and research; offering wine business and production programmes from apprenticeships through to undergraduate (BA, BSc) and postgraduate (MSc) degrees.
First offered in 1996, around 150 students attend our university courses each year, and members of the English wine industry also benefit from the training and information offered through the WineSkills project (see www.wineskills.co.uk).
Plumpton College also hosts the UK Wine Research Centre and the English Wine Research & Development Group. In order to support its teaching and research, Plumpton College has a 10-hectare commercial vineyard, a commercial winery, a research winery, laboratories, a wine tasting room and an international staff team.
Role in the project
Plumpton College will be actively involved in the data collection for the project in one of our vineyards at Rock Lodge (West Sussex), in which 18 temperature sensors have been installed. Temperatures in the field will be closely monitored, alongside the phenological development of different grape varieties. The yield and grape composition parameters will be measured and all interventions and inputs will be recorded so as to measure the site’s environmental impact. Lastly, Plumpton will be very active in the communication and dissemination events aimed to promote the findings of the project.

Originally specialised in the study of viticultural terroirs, the work of this experimental unit has progressively evolved towards the understanding of the functional links between terroir and typicality of appellation wines. The regulatory, climatic and socio-economic contexts are rapidly changing, and the team is now looking to analyse the issues concerning the future of viticultural terroirs and wine typicity. The focus is on two key drivers, climate and environmental concerns. This research is conducted within the INRA-SAD research department, where one of the objectives is to analyse, design and evaluate innovations in production systems and products that should allow the resilience of socio-technical systems.
Role in the project
The main activities of the experimental unit are:

French Institute for Vine and Wine, Le Grau-du-roi
IFV carries out general interest investigations, for the whole French wine industry, on topics such as plant material, vine growing, vineyard management, winemaking and marketing. The Institute carries out research on several experimental sites spread over all the French vineyard areas. IFV also helps the SMEs to develop the technical abilities necessary for their progress and competitiveness. The experimental centers' equipment allows specific projects to test innovations in Viticulture and Winemaking. Open to education, teaching and training, IFV has developed partnerships with viticultural and oenological pedagogical centers in France.
Role in the project
IFV is co-leader of two actions of the Life-Adiviclim project: carbon footprint assessment (B2) and dissemination (D). IFV will define methodological tools for carbon footprint assessment and dissemination activities, and will assist pilot sites in their implementation. Joël Rochard and Sophie Penavayre are in charge of the Life-Adviclim project for IFV.

The University of Rennes 2 (UR2) is the largest higher education and research institution in the field of Arts, Humanities and the Social Sciences and Humanities in western France with 19 478 students, 600 administrative staff and 700 researchers. The operating and investment budget reached 100M€ in 2012. 400 PhD students are currently realizing their doctoral studies in the Human and Social Science (SSH) Graduate School, under the supervision of a high-level scientific community organised into 19 research units, 5 of which are associated with the French National Research Council (CNRS). Over 12% of the student body is composed of international students, with a third coming from other EU countries. Rennes 2 has two doctoral schools and is member of a research and technology transfer unit (SATT Bretagne). Its research publications are widely disseminated through the Presses Universitaires de Rennes (PUR), one of France’s leading university publishers. Rennes 2 University has extensive experience of international projects, including the coordination of European projects.
Role in the project
As coordinating body, University Rennes 2, is responsible for both the scientific and administrative project management; will be the chairman of coordinating the Steering Committee; and will represent the consortium for the European Commission.
The coordinating body assumes the responsibility of the contract and ensures that the project meets its objectives. It is in charge of the day-to-day communication with the participants and the EC, insuring the cohesion of the consortium, and that the regular reports are completed on time. University Rennes 2 will ensure the day-to-day administrative and financial management, and be responsible of the organisation of the consortium in financial and administrative terms.

UMR EGFV (Ecophysiologie et Génomique Fonctionnelle de la Vigne) Bordeaux Sciences Agro
Our unit's research aim is to understand and manage the impact of climate change on the biological processes and physiological function of grapevines that determine berry quality.
All research activities are organised using a joint modeling project, which covers the characteristics of the vineyard, plant, organ and cell metabolism. In this way, our expertise (viticulture, bioclimatology, ecophysiology, biochemistry, molecular biology, genetics and modeling) is distributed into two research themes :
Grafted Plant : to analyze and model the interaction between scion and rootstock, studying the effects of rootstock on grapevine adaptation to water deficits.
Quality of the Berry : to study and model vine development, phenology and grape berry quality, with emphasis on secondary metabolism, in relation to climate change.
Our research provides useful tools for crop production, especially viticulture.

The Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (National Centre for Scientific Research) is a public-sector organisation (founded 1939) under the responsibility of the French Ministry of Education and Research with the following aims:
The UMR 6554 Coast, Environment, Remote Sensing and Geomatics (UMR LETG) section of the CNRS brings together five research groups, based in the universities of Bretagne Occidentale, Caen, Nantes, Rennes 2 and Angers. The UMR (Mixed Research Unit) answers to both the university and the CNRS. The geographical diversity of the UMR LETG is designed to study the geographical knowledge and practices in the west of France. Each group complements the others to study and reflect upon the whole range of spatial research issues. This research unit, composed in the majority by geographers, stems from the Institute of Ecology and Environment (INEE) and the Institute for Humanities and Social Sciences (INSHS).
Role in the project
The CNRS is the scientific leader of the LIFE-ADVICLIM project. Researchers and engineers from the CNRS (UMR6554 LETG) are modelers, climatologists and geographers. They mainly work on:
Researchers on the LIFE-ADVICLIM project will study the impact of climate change on wine regions for 10 years, within the national project ANR-TERVICLIM and the international project GICC-TERADCLIM.

Hochschule GEISENHEIM University
The Hochschule Geisenheim University (UGM) provides excellent research and teaching in the areas of viticulture, horticulture and beverage technology. It aims to bridge pure and applied sciences, thus bringing research into application in the field for the benefit of consumers, growers, advisors and the public sector. The UGM currently employs a staff of about 390 people, including scientists, technical and administrative personel. The UGM is financed by the Hessian State Ministry for Science and Art. Approximately 1200 students are supervised in lectures and practical courses in the field of viticulture and oenology, beverage research, horticulture and landscape architecture.
Role in the project
In cooperation with the other partners of ADVICLIM, the Hochschule Geisenheim University will demonstrate seasonal and short-term adaptation strategies to climate change, which are directly related to challenges for German wine-growing regions which have already become a reality due to the climate change. The potential for reducing GHG emissions in grape production will also be assessed. The Hochschule Geisenheim University will also participate in the transfer of this information to the viticultural sector, within the ADVICLIM project.
