In addition to invited presentations, there will also be a possibility to submit abstracts for poster presentations.

For sponsors, Resveratrol2017 has some new features to work with: in addition to standard tabletop presentations, sponsors are invited to speed-date with the participants.

The goal with this dynamic set-up is to optimise the time and quality of the meetings while ensuring the highest number of viable new projects generated.

After busy days with heavy scientific programme, there will be opportunity for the participants to visit wineries in the Mendoza wine district, producing more than 60% of Argentine wine.

Owing to the high altitude and low humidity, Mendoza vineyards rarely face the problems of insects, fungi or other grape diseases. This allows cultivating with little or no pesticides, enabling even organic wines to be easily produced.
