Krkonoše Mts: Nature and People

The aim of the conference, organised regularly every three years, is to present the latest results of research related to the Krkonoše Mts. and the neighbouring ridges of the Sudetes Mts. The conference is also a unique form of information exchange between scientists from Poland and the Czech Republic doing their research in the Krkonoše Mts. and for transboundary cooperation between the two national parks.
The results presented at the conference should not only enrich the existing scientific knowledge of one of Europe's most naturally valuable mountain ranges and thus contribute to its conservation, but should also be the basis for updating a number of environmental educational documents and teaching programmes. In addition to presenting the results in a traditional scientific and professional format, the results will also be interpreted in a popular-scientific form which will find practical usage amongst the wider lay public.
The conference is regularly attended by scientists from a wide range of scientific institutions, university-based academics, lecturers and other teaching staff, representatives of state administration, educational centres, important regional and national stakeholders and other representatives of the professional public.
