Take part in the fundraising that Grottcenter launch

 

Hello,


Now is the time to keep you posted on Grottocenter upgrades: the project is well advanced and we are very proud to be able to present the new elements which are now available on the latest version of Grottocenter.

We also have projects that will materialize in the coming weeks and we need your help to take a decisive step and finally offer a fully functional new version of Grottocenter !

A  few  days ago , we started implementing  the authentication module.The menu bar and caves page have also been implemented. Within  a few weeks, it will be possible, thanks to the funding provided by the SSS and the FFS, to authenticate and enter bibliographic files. We want to quickly allow these documents to be associated with caves, organizations or ranges and that way offer a fully functional program.


We have developed a community based project and we are offering you the opportunity to support it. If you want to find out more and decide whether you are going to take part in the fundraising that we have just launched, you can click on the link below.

Caving expedition in Kyrgyzstan !

The Fund for the   Preservation and Exploration of Caves (FPEC) offer   cavers the opportunity to take part   project on caving research in almost   non-explored caves in Kyrgyzstan. In Kyrgyzstan   , the caving potential is huge. Almost all prospective regions are poorly explored or unexplored at all. Cave systems which were discovered previously require further exploration.
