Institute for Wine Biotechnology
Welcome to Stellenbosch University

Research Collaboration


The environment is actively pursuing to strengthen its international networks through different initiatives and actions. We are part of several European consortia that either focus on teaching or on research training (Vintage masters, Vinifera masters, Oeni/Viti, PhD School at San Michelle). The environment also has a bilateral agreement with specific countries and colleagues which is project-driven. This is an initiative of the National Research Foundation (NRF), but the funding is very competitive and therefore the success rate is low. We also have informal collaborations with many international institutions:
