We are delighted to invite you to Bucharest, Romania, for the 3rd edition of the Karst Science Days Symposium (KSD2025), which will take place on 14-15th November 2025. The event will be hosted mainly on-site, as well as online, for broader participation.
The symposium aims to highlight the scientific contributions of exceptional students working in karst terrains.
We welcome students in the final two years of undergraduate studies, master’s students, and doctoral candidates. As the presentations will be published as short papers in the symposium proceedings volume, we recommend that presenters have their advisors’ agreement for the publication of original data and results. There will be no registration fee, in order to allow young researchers to participate without any hurdles.
Program Overview
The program will revolve around two main themes, Karstology and Subsurface Biology, but all subjects related to karst are welcome. We are excited to announce a special poster session of Citizen Science, where the participants from outside mainstream science are invited to present posters showcasing their contributions to the field.
Presentation Formats:
• 15-minute oral presentations
• Poster presentations for Citizen Science
Publication
The oral presentations at the symposium are published in the form of Articles in the series of volumes „Karst Science Days Symposium Proceedings” (ISSN 2972-1261, ISSN-L 2972-1261), with a DOI identifier, after being reviewed by the Scientific Committee. For the drafting of the manuscripts, the authors are asked to observe the Guide for authors found below. Posters of the Citizen Science session will be included in the volume only in the form of short abstracts.
