Clim4Vitis´s main objective is to strengthen and raise UTAD´s – and more specifically its research group CITAB´s – science and technology (S&T) capacity and performance in two main specific fields of research in viticulture & climate:

• Grapevine modelling;
• Methods and tools for assessing climate change impacts on European viticulture, in general, and on grapevine productivity, quality attributes and risk of diseases and pests in particular.
