Attention to sustainability is growing in the wine sector, but the rate of association to wine sustainability programs or schemes still appears to be limited. To encourage participation in sustainability programs, a collaborative approach adoption to share in wine communities the skills and knowledges necessary to manage the transition from a conventional organisation of production to a sustainable one, seems to be a functional strategy. This paper, present as case study, the Prosecco Sustainability Project, to investigate how a participatory/collaborative approach coordinated by an interbranch organization to facilitate the adoption of sustainable best practices by companies, can actually be developed. Results show that is necessary a strong integration and collaboration between different actors and that guidance from a coordinating figure who is able to foster dialogue and cooperation among the various stakeholders involved is needed.

The results of experiments performed with a Ø25 x 25 mm solution-grown stilbene crystal in mono-energetic neutron fields in the 80-to-230 keV energy range are presented. The goal of the measurements, performed at the AMANDE facility, was to explore the capabilities of this organic scintillator to measure neutrons at the lowest possible energy with good pulse shape discrimination (PSD). The time of flight (TOF) technique was used in order to help with the neutron-gamma discrimination. The data are collected via a programmable digital acquisition (DAQ) system CAEN DT7530 using the software CoMPASS with the charge comparison method (CCM). The data are analysed using post-processing codes developed in the ROOT environment. The results show that the stilbene detector has discrimination capabilities for energies as low as 80 keV.
