The XIV International Symposium on Grapevine Breeding and Genetics (GBG 2026) was successfully held from June 28 to July 3, 2026, in Zagreb, Croatia, bringing together researchers, breeders, students, and industry professionals from around the world to exchange knowledge, foster collaborations, and discuss the latest advances in grapevine breeding and genetics.

The Symposium was organized by the Faculty of Agriculture, University of Zagreb, in collaboration with the Institute for Adriatic Crops and Karst Reclamation Split, the Institute of Agriculture and Tourism Poreč, the Faculty of Agrobiotechnical Sciences Osijek, and the International Viticulture and Enology Society (IVES).

We would like to express our sincere gratitude to all participants, keynote speakers, session chairs, sponsors, exhibitors, volunteers, and members of the Scientific and Organizing Committees for their invaluable contribution to the success of GBG 2026. Your enthusiasm, expertise, and engagement made this Symposium a truly memorable scientific event.

Croatia was honoured to host this prestigious conference series. We hope that the scientific discussions, new collaborations, and friendships established in Zagreb will continue to advance grapevine research in the years ahead.
