Each time a caving accident happens, we wonder what factors contributed to it.
This 13th international cave rescue conference is your chance to discuss, among other subjects, how to prevent caving accidents while maintaining the exploration and adventure sides of caving.
Participants will be able to exchange and compare techniques and equipment through daily practical workshops underground.
In the evenings, discussions will continue through lectures, demonstrations, and reports of the day’s activities.
To facilitate communication, a team of caver volunteers will translate. We intend to publish the proceedings after the conference.
