SCIENTIFIC PROGRAM IS AVAILABLE --
(Dinner tickets are sold out)
We are honored to extend our warmest welcome to the esteemed participants of the 17th edition of the Latin American Workshop on Plasma Physics. Join us in the stunning city of Santiago, Chile, as we convene for an enriching exploration of the latest developments in the field.
The Latin American Workshop on Plasma Physics (LAWPP) is a
regional meeting with global undertones, whose main purpose
is to provide a forum for research carried out in Latin
America, while presenting the main trends at the
international level on various areas of plasma physics.
Therefore, it fosters the establishment of scientific
collaborations between Latin American researchers, as well
as between them and researchers in developed countries,
providing a proper forum to assess their results.
A few days before our Workshop begins, there will be a LAWPP School
on Plasma Physics, oriented to students and young
researchers whose has recently started their research in
plasma physics. The attendees to this School will also have
an excellent opportunity to know each other in a friendly
atmosphere before facing the main Workshop.
