Dr. Anne Pellegrino
Dr Anne Pellegrino is an associate professor in Institut Agro Montpellier.
Anne obtained a PhD in Agronomy/Plant Science in 2003 at Montpellier SupAgro, as it was then named. Then she worked as a researcher at CIRAD (Montpellier) during one year and conducted a research project at CSIRO (Australia) during two years. She has written 20 scientific papers, 3 book chapters and participated in 50 international and national scientific communications. At Institut Agro Montpellier, she is elected member of the IHEV and Associate professors-Professors internal boards. She is also part of the animation cell of the GiESCO (Group of international Experts for Cooperation on Vitivinicultural Systems).
Role in Newclim: Anne is the scientific director of the Newclim project.
Research Interests: Dr Pellegrino’s principal past research concerned the development of a diagnosis tool to evaluate vineyards water stress based on soil water balance (currently named Vintel, ITK-Montpellier). Secondly, she researched the development of concepts for modelling grapevine yield components in the VineLOGIC model (APSIM, CSIRO). More recently, she addressed the role of C balance in Microvine reproductive development responses to warm temperatures (collab. AGAP, Institut Agro Montpellier). She is now focusing on the modelling of grapevine yield components responses to water and nitrogen constraints (collab. SYSTEM, Institut Agro Montpellier & ITK-Montpellier).

Dr. Jochen Bogs.
Dr. Jochen Bogs is a Professor for plant physiology and viticulture at Weincampus Neustadt.
Jochen obtained a PhD in Biology in 1999 at University Heidelberg and worked as a researcher at Institute of Plant Science (Uni Heidelberg) and at CSIRO (Australia) during three years research project. He is author of over 40 scientific papers and teaches plant physiology, viticulture and breeding to Master’s and Bachelor`s students at Weincampus and University of Heidelberg.
Role in Newclim: Jochen is WP4 coordinator of the Newclim project.
Research Interests: Jochen Bogs’s past research was on the regulation of grapevine secondary metabolite biosynthesis important for grape and wine quality. In the last 15 years, his research focus is on the molecular mechanisms of grapevine resistance against fungal diseases and the development of sustainable plant protection strategies to reduce the use of fungicides in viticulture. More recently, he addressed possible adaption strategies to abiotic stress such as sunburn of grapes and drought.

Annie Drottberger
Annie Drottberger is a lecturer and holds a PhD in Horticultural Science especially Business Administration at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, the Department of Biosystems and Technology in Alnarp, Sweden.
Her research focuses on adoption of innovations in horticultural production systems and investigations of firms in a variety of production systems e.g. open fields, high-tech greenhouses, PFAL (Plant Factories with Artificial Lighting) and rooftop greenhouses. Her research interests includes the transition to a more sustainable food system from a socio-technical perspective.
Prior experience includes working as an agricultural consultant at the provincial government 2006-2007 with business support and EU subsidies. She also worked as a business developer at The Federation of Swedish Farmers during 2008-2018 focusing on the regional food strategy and sustainability. Her motivation is connected to gaining an increased understanding of different production systems, investigating which new technologies are coming, highlighting why a certain development is taking place and showing that there are different solutions to tackle sustainability challenges and climate change.
Role in Newclim: Project Manager.
Patrice Lallemand
Patrice Lallemand is an agronomist and oenologist. He teaches viticulture and sensory analysis to Master’s and National Diploma of Oenology (DNO) students. He is responsible for international relations at PVV (Pole Vigne et Vin) within Institut Agro Montpellier.
As an expert for the French Erasmus+ agency, he supports the Newclim project management. From a content perspective, he contributes his practical knowledge and experience of international vineyards in the field of climate change adaptation.
