We invite karst experts, young researchers and students to contribute and discuss theory of karst and contemporary results of their researches. School will be held in days of February 5th to 12th, 2005 in Macocha Cottage on the Moravian Karst area. Karst Commission of the International Geographical Union traditionally supports the winter Speleological School. This year sessionas as the previous one will be of small audience character. Because of the accommodation conditions of Macocha Cottage and the possibilities of field sessions, the amount of participants is limited. The whole of the coming Speleological School will take place on the area of the Moravian Karst, what gives an opportunity of holding much of the sessions straight in the field and in the caves. Therefore lectures and sessions will be submitted to this element, both in the view of the essence of the subject and of the time. Independently on scientific problems suggested by the Organising Committee, participants will be asked to prepare their contributions mostly in form of short presentations and posters. Moreover, traditionally there is also a possibility of rapport's presentation from scientific expeditions, conferences and symposiums in form of slides or computer presentations.
