Did you know that a vineyard can help slow down a wildfire? Beyond its cultural, economic and landscape value, the agricultural mosaic created by vineyards can act as a natural barrier against fire, contributing to the building of more resilient landscapes.
As part of the 2026 European Researchers’ Night, we invite you to discover the documentary FIRE WINE, which explains how wine producers, researchers and emergency services professionals are working together to demonstrate that active land management is a key tool for reducing the risk and impact of wildfires.
Through real-life experiences, the documentary takes us into the FIRE WINE project, a label that certifies the commitment of wineries and agricultural producers to management models that help prevent and limit the spread of fire.
The screening, free of charge and open to everyone, will be an opportunity to learn first-hand about an innovative initiative that connects science, land and viticulture. It will also provide food for thought on the role that agriculture and responsible consumption can play in building more fire-resistant landscapes, capable of reducing the risk of large wildfires and better coping with the effects of climate change.
The evening will continue with a round table discussion, moderated by the CTFC, featuring the documentary’s director, representatives of the wine sector and emergency services professionals, who will share experiences and perspectives on land management and wildfire prevention. To round off the event, attendees will be able to enjoy a tasting of FIRE WINE label wines*, a way to discover the products behind this project and the values they represent.

What is the European Researchers’ Night?
The European Researchers’ Night is a public event dedicated to science outreach, held every year simultaneously in more than 300 cities across 30 European countries. Its aim is to bring research and its protagonists closer to audiences of all ages, and to showcase research and innovation in an engaging and fun way.
From the University of Lleida, the GREiA research group, together with the Unit for Scientific Culture and Innovation, will coordinate all the free activities taking place on 2 October, with the goal of turning citizens into scientists for a day. To this end, local researchers will share their work, the benefits it brings to society and its impact on everyday life in a fun, playful way — all through a variety of activities, workshops and talks.
