The EuroSpeleo Projects (ESP) Fund supports internationally oriented speleological projects that are open to the participation of speleologists from all FSE member countries and lead to a multinational and multidisciplinary cooperation.

The fund supports activities in the spirit of the Guiding Headline from the International Year of Caves and Karst (IYCK): Explore, Understand, Protect!

EuroSpeleo Projects funds activities related to cave & karst research and exploration in Europe and worldwide locations. Examples are expeditions, congresses, caver meetings, conservation activities and biospeleological research. Media, like books and films are supported by FSE, but follow other application criteria and are not within EuroSpeleo Projects.

EuroSpeleo Projects funds every individual, club, local organization and national commission or federation who belong to a country being member of FSE.
