EuroSpeleo Forum 2012 - Switzerland

Dear Speleo Friends,

We are happy to kindly invite you to participate to the great European
speleological 2012 gathering that will be the 13th Swiss National
Congress of Speleology - EuroSpeleo Forum 2012, from September 29 till
October 1st, 2012, in Muotathal - Switzerland, in a karstic massif at
60km south of Zurich beside Hölloch cave, greatest Swiss cave. There,
will also be held the 2nd edition of the EuroSpeleo Protection
Symposium, which first edition was at Vercors 2008.

This congress follows the motto "Speleodiversity" because there is
neither "a speleology" nor "a caver" but a diversity of specialised
areas and interests within caving and cave research. We'll represent
all fields of speleology and it will be a platform for mutual exchange
between cavers from all over Europe and beyond.

Interesting sessions about scientific and exploration speleology in
Switzerland and all over Europe, caving techniques and IT technology
in caving, a 3D-Photoshow and, of course, great caving trips and much
more than you may expect. You surely shouldn't miss that !

The 2nd circular of the event is available in 3 languages :
*English : www.speleodiversity.ch/images/NHK_2012_ ... lar_en.pdf
*French : www.speleodiversity.ch/images/NHK_2012_ ... lar_fr.pdf
*German : www.speleodiversity.ch/images/NHK_2012_ ... lar_de.pdf

Please register asap at www.speleodiversity.ch and take advantage of
the early-booker fee until January 31st 2012.
On the website you'll find all the usefull information you need to
prepare your participation to the 7th EuroSpeleo Forum
"SpeleoDiversity 2012".

See you in Muotathal - Switzerland !
A Merry Christmas to you all,
