LATIN AMERICAN STRATEGY FORUM FOR RESEARCH INFRASTRUCTURE

April 30 – May 1, 2019 at Instituto de Física Teórica - UNESP, São Paulo, Brazil

SPEAKERS It is widely recognized that large-scale long-term science collaborations deliver lasting benefi ts to participating nations. Most João Luiz Azevedo (President of CNPq, Brazil) of these collaborations require large infrastructure. As is done in Xavier Bertou (CNEA/CONICET, Argentina) Europe, the coordination of resources for these large infrastructures Lidia Brito (Director of UNESCO Montevideo Offi ce) among different countries in Latin America is desirable in order to optimize efforts. With the support of many countries and institutions, Marcela Carena ( & , USA) the initiative for a Latin American Strategy Forum for Research Carlos H. B. Cruz (Science Director of FAPESP & UNICAMP, Brazil) Infrastructure (LASF4RI) was presented at the Meeting of the Iberoamerican Ministers for Science and Technology last year, and Sebastián Eslava (Director of Innovation and Technological Development, was included in the fi nal declaration that was ratifi ed at a subsequent Colciencias, Colombia) meeting of the Heads of State. This 2-day workshop is the fi rst step in Nigel S. Lockyer (Director of Fermilab) bringing together the LA scientifi c community to discuss these issues Luciano Maiani (Universitá di Roma, Italy) with heads of funding agencies (taking advantage of the meeting of the Global Research Council at FAPESP), with major science policy Salvatore Mele (CERN, Switzerland) makers and also with representatives of large collaborations in the Claudia M.
