The Wine and Tourism Chair is an innovative partnership scheme that promotes cooperation between players in the wine, tourism, and wine tourism sectors and EM Strasbourg Business School (University of Strasbourg). As the only one of its kind in France, the Chair offers a breeding ground for young talent, as well as input in the way of new trends and strategies through conducting research and disseminating best practices through conferences for the general public and research workshops. Based on cluster-style functioning, businesses, research, and training work together to create and cultivate ideas.
