Registrations are now open for the second edition of the UIAA Mountain Sports Symposium.
As communicated in early July, the UIAA together with the hosting association, the Kosovo Mountaineering and Sport Climbing Federation (FBNSK), will organise this event focused on mountain safety, medicine, training and sustainability topics, from 25-26 October 2025, and running alongside its General Assembly. The event is supported by the Petzl Foundation.
The 2025 edition will run over two days and focus on topics of safety and mountain medicine, led by the respective UIAA Commissions. International experts have been invited to lecture and hold workshop on environmental hazards, high altitude topics such as the prevention of illnesses, as well as rock anchor placement, safe equipment and via ferrata regulations. Participants will spend two mornings in the classroom at Hotel Camp in Peja and the afternoons outdoors at a crag to workshop bolting, water treatment methods, knots and pulleys, stretcher rescue scenarios, and improvised splinting, among other topics.
