Dear Colleagues and Friends,
We are pleased to inform you about the new call for funding of speleological events. Grants may be awarded for international expeditions or other events focused on the exploration, study or protection of caves and karst, with emphasis on educational, technical and/or scientific cooperation.
All applications should explicitly demonstrate that the proposed event is in accordance with the Statutes, Internal Regulations and Code of Ethics of the UIS. In addition, the event must involve contributors from at least three different countries. Proposals that do not meet these requirements will be rejected. Other requirements and details can be found in the UIS Speleological Event Sponsorship Guidelines at https://uis-speleo.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/Speleological-Events-Support-Guidelines-Version-2-September-2019.pdf
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact the UIS Vice President of Administration Zdeněk Motyčka at z.motycka@mediform.cz
The UIS Bureau has decided to allocate a maximum amount of 5.000,- EUR to support all projects for 2023. The deadline for applications is May 31, 2023.
Applications must be sent to the UIS Bureau through the General Secretary Johannes Mattes at johannes.mattes@oeaw.ac.at
Applicants will be notified of the outcome of their proposal by the end of July 2023.
Best regards,
Zdeněk MOTYČKA
UIS Vice President for Administration>
