The Institute of Grapevine and Wine Sciences (Instituto de Ciencias de la Vid y del Vino, ICVV) is proud to announce the launch of the Open International Conference on Grapevine Physiology and Biotechnology (Open-GPB2024) that will be held in Logroño, La Rioja, Spain, from July 7^th to 11^th, 2024. We pursue to continue the main international forum in grapevine physiology and biotechnology research as proposed in the previous 2021 meeting organized online in South Africa.

As a differential feature with previous meetings on the topic, the Open GPB2024 is committed to the principles of Open Science, focused on spreading scientific knowledge as soon as it is available, using digital and collaborative methodologies. This strategy is helping to increase the quality and impact of science, making it more reliable and more open to society and its needs. For this purpose, we will rely on the International Viticulture and Enology Society (IVES)) and the platform IVES Conference Series for the publication of the Open GPB2024 abstracts, communications, videos, posters, or other materials that attendees would like to make public. In this way, the Open-GPB2024 will represent one step forward in the broad and fast dissemination of knowledge in this area.
