S.I.S. is the caving group at INRIA in Sophia-Antipolis, near Nice, in France. We are a small group of cavers working at INRIA, connected with a number of local caving groups, and with the Comité de Spéléologie des Alpes Maritimes (CDS06), that represents the french caving society (FFS) in the Alpes-Maritimes. We are very closely linked with the club les SophiTaupes (<agos-speleo@sophia.inria.fr>). More details, reports, pictures, here: in english – en français Activities :
- Discovery trips, organised internaly for Agos members, or often in collaboration with the Sophitaupes club, in order to accept both INRIA and external people. These trips can be very easy (kids, families, etc.), or more technical and demanding, including “on rope” vertical caving, or scientific activities (karstologia, hydrology, biospeleology).
- For permanent members (registered with the SophiTaupe club), all kind of caving sportive activities, exploration, mountain or foreign camps, etc.
Agenda:
- Journées nationales de la spéléologie et du canyon (JNSC): National days for caving and canyonning. Every yesr, firsdt weekend of October.
