Satellite symposia:

1. Training and testing in climbing (25^th – 26^th November 2022)
   
   Sport climbing is a growing activity practiced by varied populations from recreational to professional level. Although included in the Olympics, many questions on performance limiting factors and training lay unanswered. The aim of the symposium is to link the current research with professional training practice. Keynote speakers represent world leading researchers and trainers in sport climbing.
2. Ethics and the Outdoors (23^rd November 2022)

The conference has received excellent feedback and reviews because

• it is not a mega event but a middle-size gathering where you have the chance to meet, get to know and even find a common project
• it has an informal atmosphere supporting discussions and mutual learning
• it is attended by people from different parts of the field – practitioners, teachers, researchers, policy makers, managers and leaders of organisations
• it is a learning opportunity for young students and volunteers
