The fifth edition of the DDays LAC will take place in the beautiful city of Punta del Este, located at the southernmost point in Uruguay, where the Río de la Plata river meets the Atlantic Ocean, and only an hour and a half away from the capital city, Montevideo (for information on how to arrive, please visit: https://ddayslac2018.org/page). The purpose of this meeting is to bring together world specialists on computational, applied, and theoretical research in all areas related to non-linear dynamics with scientists and students from Latin America and the Caribbean.

The direct observation of gravitational waves (GWs) by the LIGO scientific collaboration opened the new science of Gravitational Astronomy. Scientists have compared this to Galileo pointing his telescope to the sky, offering instead an ear to the cosmos. After the remarkable landmark of detection, GW science will soon turn into the study of the properties of the sources and address fundamental questions in astrophysics and cosmology. In particular, binary coalescences are posed to become the leading probe to test gravitational dynamics, and the physics of compact objects under unique conditions and GWs propagation can probe the Universe dynamics on cosmological scale.

This is the first announcement of the 27th IUPAP Conference on Statistical Physics, StatPhys27, which will be held in Buenos Aires, Argentina, on July 8-12, 2019. As in previous editions, StatPhys27 will cover all aspects of statistical physics across many fields and disciplines.
We expect to have a very exciting meeting. Very prestigious researchers from all over the world have already agreed to give plenary and invited talks. We hope that many of you will also participate and contribute with your most recent work.

El pasado 11 de mayo se realizó la 2ª Olimpiada Latinoamericana y del Caribe de Física Universitaria (OLUF). La Olimpiada, organizada por la Sociedad Cubana de Física y la Facultad de Física de la Universidad de la Habana contó este año con el coauspicio de la UNESCO, el Centro latinoamericano de Física, la Academia de Ciencias de Cuba, la Federación Iberoamericana de Sociedades de Física y el ICTP South American Institute for Fundamental Research de Brasil.

El comité técnico que preparó y calificó los problemas estuvo integrado por los profesores cubanos: Alejandro Cabo Montes de Oca, Carlos Gandarilla Pérez, Edwin Pedrero González, Carlos Rodríguez Castellanos, Ernesto Altshuler Alvarez, Héctor Borroto Gutiérrez, Julio Cesar Drake Alvarez y Osvaldo de Melo Pereira.

November 21-23, 2018 | São Paulo, Brazil - IFT-UNESP

The goal of this international workshop is to explore the state of the art of the Dark Matter field, discussing the latest developments in all branches: theoretical, collider, direct and indirect, and astro. By bringing together the South American and international community we aim to foster new collaborations and new long-lasting partnerships, at a most timely moment in the development of the field. There is no registration fee.

Astronomers in Brazil have voiced their disappointment after the European Southern Observatory (ESO) suspended the country’s membership following its failure to ratify an agreement struck in 2010. ESO had allowed Brazil to be an interim member, giving its astronomers access to the consortium’s telescopes, but from 1 April scientists will have to apply for time on a similar basis as non-ESO members.
