During this summer, eight inmates joined the CRI team. From countries such as Portugal, Italy and the United States, as well as Chile, students will develop their theses related to the different projects and supervised by the CRI’s professionals.<\/p>\n
Marissa Reyes comes from California, has a Master\u2019s Degree in Enology and Viticulture and has experience in France and Spain. Like four other foreign interns, she traveled to Chile to do her thesis at Concha y Toro\u00b4s Center for Research and Innovation (CRI). In total there are eight new interns \u2013 five foreigners and three Chileans \u2013 who will work as researchers at the center, working on the different projects developed there.<\/p>\n
From this summer until the months of July and August, the interns will work with CRI\u00b4s professionals, who will guide them in their theses during this educational experience. Each one will develop a specific and different topic related to the R & D projects that are carried out in the center.<\/p>\n
\u201cI hope to gain experience on the implementation of new methods of analysis in the wine industry, and learn more about the wine quality markers. I\u2019m also very interested in seeing how the experimental wine cellar works\u201d, Marissa explains.<\/p>\n
For Francesco Guidi, Italian and International Master (MSc) Vintage, \u00c9cole Sup\u00e9rieure d\u2019Agriculture d\u2019Angers, the CRI represents a new way of approaching the production of wines. \u201cFor me, considering my European background, it was completely new that a winemaker could turn to his own research center for scientific support\u201d, says Francesco.<\/p>\n
One of the investigations that will be carried out will be in charge of Caterina Leal, Portuguese and master in Engineering of Viticulture and Enology. She will develop her thesis focusing on the strategic program \u201cStrengthening plant material\u201d, evaluating the effect of different strains of the fungus Trichoderma spp. for disease control of the vine wood.<\/p>\n
Camila Uribe, Civil-Chemical Engineer from the Pontifica Universidad Cat\u00f3lica de Valpara\u00edso, is one of the Chilean interns who will join the team. In the CRI, she will develop his thesis on \u201cOptimization of the alcoholic fermentation process through the use of computer simulation in winemaking.\u201d<\/p>\n
For Camila, this is not only a great academic opportunity, but also an enriching personal experience: \u201cHere, we share with people from different cultures, which promotes professional development and soft skills\u201d.<\/p>\n
