Students from Denmark visit our university

From June 4 to 6, 2018, our university was visited by students of the Faculty of Agriculture at the University of Copenhagen. The 20 students from Denmark were from the fields of nutritional science, food technology and agricultural science and met here to learn the basics about viticulture and enology. It was a truly international group - participants came from Norway, Germany, Italy, Spain, Poland, Canada, China, Japan, Brazil and Denmark – and was accompanied by Prof. Dr. Torben Toldam-Anderson and Prof. Dr. Nils Arneborg. Geisenheim lecturers taught the visiting students about such subjects as grapevine varieties, grapevine breeding and cultivation, grapevine physiology, pests and diseases viticulture, microbiology and wine technology. The material learnt was then practically reinforced through excursions at the end of the visit.
