The 34th school

A new week of karst science in Postojna

Since 1993, the International Karstological School “Classical Karst” has brought together early-career and established karst researchers in Postojna. Lectures, posters and field excursions connect current science with the landscapes and caves of Classical Karst.

The 34th edition continues this tradition with a new highlighted theme and programme taking shape.
