Presentation:
INST-World project of Mountains

Wiss.Dir.Dr. Herbert Arlt

Since the 90ies INST makes research projects about the cultural dimension of mountains. Before the UN year of montains the INST world project was supported by a resolution of the General Assembly of UNESCO on 31 October 2001. Since 2002 the project developed in new ways. Arlt will present Symposia, cultural expeditions, regional and virtual projects (among them a multilingual mountaineers encyclopaedia). There are possibilities for participation and cooperation (for example the conference “Mountains and Cultural Tourism”, organized by the University of Naltschik and INST in the Elbrus region, and the possibility to climb Elbrus as post conference program for the mountaineers amongst the conference participants).
