Abstract:
In March 2015 at the National Research Council headquarters in Rome, Italy, the congress Hypogea 2015, an International
Congress of Speleology in Artificial Cavities, was held. Organized by the Commission on Artificial Cavities of the International
Union of Speleology (UIS) in co-operation with the local associations Egeria, ASSO and Roma Sotterranea, and under the
auspices of UIS and the Italian Speleological Society (SSI), the congress was very successful. There were over 70 contributions
from 11 countries that were organized in 8 different thematic sessions. As a result, a voluminous proceedings book of over 550
pages was printed and distributed at the congress, edited by Mario Parise, Carla Galeazzi, Roberto Bixio and Carlo Germani. The
Italian experience left an indelible mark on the cavers interested in artificial cavities, and soon a proposal for organization of the
congress in 2017 came from Turkey, in the remarkable landscape of Cappadocia. The work of preparation for the congress started
soon after Hypogea 2015, and at the time of writing (December 2016) we are about to finalize the proceedings. These, once again,
will be distributed as a nice volume that we hope will be another reference point for researches and activities in artificial cavities.
In this contribution we summarize the activity so far completed, from the initial idea of Hypogea 2015, to the 2017 congress in
Cappadocia. Aimed at moving further ahead, looking toward Hypogea 2019 .....
