Dear colleagues,

It is my pleasure, at the request of Marco Vattano, to circulate the following call for the international Giovanni Badino Award.

Best wishes,

Johannes, UIS Secretary General

The Società Speleologica Italiana (Italian Speleological Society, SSI ETS) and the La Venta APS Geographical Exploration Association (La Venta APS) are pleased to announce the launch of the “Giovanni Badino International Speleological Award”. This award is dedicated to the memory of Giovanni Badino, an Italian physicist, speleologist and explorer, whose career was characterized by an extraordinary passion for cave exploration and scientific research in the field of speleology.

The prize, which amounts to € 2,500.00, aims to support advanced research projects in the speleological sector, promoting innovation and excellence in the exploration and study of underground environments. Candidate projects will have to demonstrate an innovative approach in scientific methodologies and techniques, with a significant contribution to the knowledge of speleology at an international level.

Giovanni Badino: a pioneer of modern speleology

Giovanni Badino, born in 1953 and passed away in 2017, was a leading figure in the Italian and international scientific and speleological scene. After starting his academic career in the field of cosmic ray physics, he dedicated much of his life to the study of physical phenomena in the subsurface, such as the dynamics of underground fluids and underground meteorology. His ability to integrate scientific knowledge and a passion for exploration contributed to a new understanding of glacial speleogenesis and made complex scientific concepts accessible to the general public through lectures, essays, and books.

Project requirements and evaluation

The call for the Giovanni Badino International Speleological Award is open to individual speleologists or working groups that present projects that have already been completed or are in the final development phase. Projects will be evaluated by a scientific committee on the basis of originality, innovation, clarity of scientific and technical objectives, and the contribution they will make to scientific knowledge in the field.

Terms of participation

Proposals must be sent by November 15, 2024, in PDF format to the email address , complete with all the information required in the call. The results will be announced by December 31, 2024.
