International Congress of Speleology (ICS) is organized by the International Union of Speleology (UIS) (which delegate the particular local speleological societies - the Czech Speleological Society in case of the 16th ICS) every four years and, without exaggeration, represents the world’s most significant speleological meeting. It is an event that connects the scientists engaged in studying karst, caves and all phenomena of their formation and development with the voluntary speleologists who discover and explore the cave systems in every corner of our planet. During the Congress, more than 320 lectures were presented in several sessions, tens of posters, movies and maps were shown, traditional accompanying events, such as competitions and exhibitions, took place, and dozens of formal and hundreds of informal meetings was held. Many excursions and camps prior to and after the Congress, were organized to visit the most significant karst regions not only of the Czech Republic but also the entire Central Europe (Austria, Slovakia, Slovenia, Poland, Ukraine, Hungary, etc.). The congress proceedings divided into three separate volumes were published; together with more than 1400 pages (see the reference below).
