In 2005 we shall meet at the 13^th International Karstological School "CLASSICAL KARST" already. The attention of the 13th Karstological School will be devoted to karst in various rocks. Karst phenomena do not appear in limestone and dolomite only but are found in other rocks: gypsum, flysch, conglomerates, slope breccias, marble, chalk, salt... By the chosen topic we wish to introduce the range and diversity of karst in the world. We also expect discussion related to processes forming karst in various rocks. We invite experts, young scientists, students, planners of life on karst and all persons attracted by karst to participate at this school.
