PROTOCOLS / NATIONAL COOPERATION
With regard to national
cooperation, APHVIN / GEHVID - Portuguese Association for
the History of Vine and Wine, will continue the path already
outlined by GEHVID - Study Group on the History of
Viticulture and Port Wine, now extended to a spectrum
broader in the geographical area, which will naturally
correspond to a search for new partnerships.
Thus, in terms of
cooperation with the Municipal Councils of the
municipalities located in the national wine-growing regions,
cooperation protocols are planned to meet the investment
needs of these municipalities in historical research, in
various fields (History of Vine and Wine) but also in
related areas such as the history of culture, material and
immaterial heritage, etc.).
In a first phase, the
municipalities of the Demarcated Region of Vinhos Verdes
have already been contacted in this regard.
There will be
municipalities connected to the other national wine-growing
regions.
In terms of Religious
History, a segment where wine is often approached, in
viticulture and in the culture linked to the rituals where
the presence of this product is felt, we will continue to
count on the collaboration of the Religious History Studies
Center of the Catholic University of Portugal.
Moreover, the study of
Portuguese Catholic elites linked to viticulture, intersects
with the scientific work developed in both research
structures.
The Center for
Vitivinicultural Studies in the Douro Demarcated Region -
Ministry of Agriculture, will continue to collaborate with
APHVIN / GEHVID, in particular in the indication of places
of study in the region, identifying specific characteristics
of the research interest of some members of our Association
.
We refer specifically to
the studies of farms, typologies of vineyards, indications
about grape varieties implanted in the territory and their
reflections in the Douro landscape.
In the context of Oral
History, this organism will also continue to indicate to
researchers that develop field work in this area,
people very close to
sectors of activity of particular interest for our research,
such as farmhouse owners, overseers, administrators, veteran
rural workers, basket weavers, boatmen from the Douro, etc.
On our part, the Center
for Viticulture Studies in the Douro Region will benefit
from the contribution of History, which is always necessary
to a regulatory entity for planting and setting up the
vineyard in the Demarcated Region, so that, when authorizing
new plantings and preparing the
land,
With the Center for Regional Studies of Viana do Castelo,
APHVIN / GEHVID will seek to continue the fruitful
scientific dialogue within the scope of its projects related
to the Vinho Verde region or others related to teaching in
higher education establishments in the region.
Collaboration with CEGE -
Center for Management and Economics Studies in Economic
History studies on the business fabric and the Demarcated
Region of Vinhos Verdes, on which 100 years passed in 2008,
will continue towards the establishment of collaboration
that allows the development joint research projects.
With the Center for the
Study of History of the Universidade Portucalense, there is
a protocol for a joint study on the elites linked to the
treatment of Port wine in the 19th century.
XVIII.
APHVIN / GEHVID maintains
a close collaboration with the Institute of Genealogy and
Heraldry of Universidade Lusófona, which has already shown
some fruit in the editorial field.
In fact, the interest in
the study of family heritage in wine-growing areas, whose
investigative interest is read in the action programs of
both institutions, has resulted in the publication of
several studies that, although developed within the scope of
APHVIN / GEHVID's activity, deserved support from IGH.
The protocol entered into
between CM Arouca remains in force;
U. Catholic;
CCDR-N;
IPPAR;
Association of the Cister
Wine Route, Tourism Region of the Rota da Luz with the aim
of promoting the recovery and dynamization of the Cister
Route.
Within the scope of its
activity, APHVIN / GEHVID maintains as associates,
integrated researchers or collaborators of CETRAD - Center
for Transdisciplinary Studies for Development, whether
professors from the University of Porto or from UTAD -
University of Trás-os-Montes and Alto Douro, belonging to
several scientific areas.
The objective is to
encourage multidisciplinarity and transdisciplinarity in its
scientific activity.
In this context, as main
achievements, we must highlight the projects that receive
the contribution of these colleagues in the area of
Heritage and even Agrarian Sciences,
whose activities should
be framed in a protocolized manner.
The development of
cross-border research projects involving Researchers from
the USC - University of Santiago de Compostela, University
of Salamanca and UP - University of Porto, in various
aspects of the research implies greater solidity of
procedures and closer cooperation.
CVRVV- Viticulture
Commission of the Vinho Verde Region, signed a protocol with
APHVIN / GEHVID which contains lines of cooperation of
notable importance so that the Portuguese Association of
Vine and Wine can continue its activity.
We highlight the
provision of facilities, free of charge, so that the
Association can maintain an office in the center of Porto,
that is, at CVRVV's headquarters.
On the other hand, and as
a counterpart, APHVIN / GEHVID, committed itself to carrying
out not only research work that helps to promote the
dissemination of the history of Vinho Verde,
PROTOCOLS / INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION
APHVIN / GEHVID,
collaborates internationally with several Universities.
We stand out for its
proximity to Santiago de Compostela - Faculty of Xeography
and History, University of Ourense.
We also include the
Museums of Pontevedra, and Ourense and Coruna.
Still in Spain, we count
among others the Universities of Cádiz and Malaga.
In Latin America,
Universidad de Talca - Chile and Universidad de Mendoza in
Argentina.
APHVIN / GEHVID maintains
links with the University of Bordeaux III - Michel Montaigne
in view of the similarity of studies on the vineyards in
Douro and the Bordeaux Graves, respectively.
On the other hand,
APHVIN / GEHVID, remain a
member of HISTOVID - Associacion Internacional História e
Civilizacion de la Vid e del Vino.
Some of the researchers
at APHVIN / GEHVID have been part of the juries for awarding
prizes granted by this national body.
