Western Caspian University, in cooperation with the International Climbing and Mountaineering Federation (UIAA), will hold an international conference dedicated to the mountainous regions worldwide that are affected by the impacts of an unrestrained exploitation of resources (due to heavy mining and intensive farming) and an ever-expanding tourism industry that seems to know no bounds.
As the host and main sponsor of this event, Western Caspian University will provide free registration, meal and local transport for all participants. Additionally, accommodation will be provided for the speakers.
