Όνομα Συνεδρίου:5th International Multi-Conference on Society, Cybernetics and Informatics: IMSCI 2011
A pedagogical platform has been
developed as a result of a close cooperation
between many actors and stakeholders of the
wine sector including consumers. This long
term Multi-Actor Cooperation (MAC approach)
of European Universities and Wine Industries
was based on Analysis of the Training Needs
(TNA) of the latter sector and their expressed
interest to the former, willing to produce a
flexible (distance learning) and friendly to non-
specialists training tool. This tool can therefore
be distributed and add value to the activities and
education of wine makers. It is also feasible for
integration into the teaching curricula of the
relative Educational and Research Institutions.
The Health aspects of wine were chosen
as the most representative and “popular” Case
Study of the above e-training platform. Small
and Medium Enterprises (SME) and wine
consumers are also interested in various Health
and Safety issues linked with the quality
management in all links of the chain “from the
grape to the glass”
In connection with the theoretical
presentation of the relevant issues, potential
users of the platform can be trained through
specially selected case studies, developed in the
framework of synergistic research activities of
the participating actors (research and training
organizations).
