2nd UIAA Mountain Sports Symposium

Together with the hosting association, the Kosovo Mountaineering and Sport Climbing Federation (FBNSK), the UIAA will hold a second edition of the Mountain Sports Symposium, from 25-26 October 2025, and running alongside its General Assembly.
The Symposium is targeted primarily at climbers and mountaineers, whether beginners or experts, from Kosovo and neighbouring countries in the Balkan region, who wish to explore mountain medicine and safety topics from an international perspective. The event is partnered by the Petzl Foundation.
After a successful inaugural event last April in Bariloche, Argentina where the UIAA Medical Commission together with experts on training, and safety topics imparted their knowledge and know-how during a three-day course, the UIAA was approached to hold a similar event in Kosovo and as part of its General Assembly programme.
Please register from the following link. The event is open to a maximum number of 70 participants, and on a first come, first served basis. Further details here.
The official website page for the event is here.
