S04. Viticulture and Winemaking between Tradition and Innovation
In accordance with the strategy of the International Organization of Wine and Vine, this symposium proposes several topics related to the traditional viticulture and oenology, but it is especially open to the new developments and innovations, having a particular focus on sustainability in both viticulture and enology.
Main topics
Viticulture:
- Environmentally friendly viticulture and biodiversity in the vineyard
- Use of traditional and new grape varieties in vineyards
- Sustainable viticultural practices, mechanization and automation
- Viticultural landscape and heritage conservation. Viticulture and territory.
- Digital technologies in viticulture
Viticulture-oenology:
- Impact of climate change on viti-vinicultural and wine production
- Solutions that limit the use of inputs and improve environmental performance
- Wine tourism (oenoturism)
Enology:
- Sustainable oenological practices for wine and wine-based beverages
- Fermented and unfermented products obtained using local grape varieties (including resistant ones)
- Waste and management of by-products
- Strategies for marketing vine and wine products; sustainable development of market growth and globalization
- Wine and vine safety, quality, health and well being

Dr. Atak works at Bursa Uludağ University, Agriculture Faculty, Department of Horticulture, Bursa, Türkiye. He studies mainly with table grapes and kiwifruit. He worked as project coordinator on some international projects especially for the development of new grape varieties resistant to biotic stress conditions. He developed and registered new table grape varieties. He also studies climate change effects on grapevine (Vitis spp.) and kiwifruit (Actinidia spp.) plants related to some physiological parameters. Dr.Atak has done many studies on the determination of phenolic components in grapes (Vitis spp.) and their changes after different treatments, as well as on the evaluation of grapes and kiwifruit(Actinidia spp.) by drying and determining their nutritional content.
He is currently the Vice President of Vine and Berry Fruits Division of International Society of Horticultural Science (ISHS). He was the Convener of the “XIII. International Conference on Grapevine Breeding, Genetics and Management” 21-24 August 2023, Turkey (ISHS organization). In addition Dr. Atak is the special issue editor of 5 MDPI journals titled "Effects of Climate Change on Viticulture (Grape)". Dr. Atak has been an invited/keynote speaker at many international events on viticulture, grape breeding, kiwifruit cultivation, kiwifruit breeding and the effects of climate change on viticulture.
