Dear colleague,<br>
We would be most grateful if you could distribute the message below among your national community, on behalf of the Office for Young Astronomers (OYA) and its program of International Schools for Young Astronomers (ISYA). We are aiming to reach the young astronomers in your country and in the Latin American and Caribbean Region at large. There will be full-support grants by the OYA and the Mexican host institutions for the selected students to attend the next ISYA, that will happen in San Cristóbal de las Casas, Chiapas, Mexico, in June 2020. <br>
Kind regards,<br>
Itziar Aretxaga and David Mota<br>
ISYA Program Director and Deputy Director<br>
-------------------- <br>
The 43rd International School for Young Astronomers, ISYA2020Mex, will take place in <strong>San Cristobal de las Casas, Chiapas, Mexico, from the 8<sup>th </sup> to the 26<sup>th</sup> of June, 2020. </strong>The International School for Young Astronomers (ISYA) is a long-tradition project of the International Astronomical Union (IAU), nowadays also co-sponsored by the Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters (NASL) through the Office for Young Astronomers (OYA). The 43<sup>rd</sup> school is co-organized by the OYA, the Mesoamerican Center for Theoretical Physics (MCTP), and the Autonomous University of Chiapas, Mexico.<br>
ISYAs are three-week international graduate schools for regions where students have less opportunity to be directly exposed to the full extent of up-to-date astrophysics. They have the purpose of broadening the young students’ perspective from international lecturers with up-to-date astrophysics, both on theory and observations. This three-week school will be also beneficial for the academic exchanges within countries, in particular in America.<br>
Students and young professionals within a broad range of education and experience, from senior undergraduate to doctoral level, are welcome to the ISYA 2020 in Mexico. Preference will be given to students in their early career, MSc/PhDs. Priority will be given to applicants from the American Continent.<br>
Acceptance to the school includes a studentship that covers transportation to San Cristóbal de las Casas and back to the students´ home location, and full boarding at the ISYA. All selected students are expected to commit 100% of their time to the three-week long program and participate in all scheduled activities.<br>

Los dos candidatos a doctorado trabajarán por separado, pero en colaboración, en dos subproyectos que implican en forma combinada la evaluación probabilística de riesgos y la evaluación de vulnerabilidad.</p>

Both sub-projects will be based at the University of Geneva, will be supervised by Prof. Costanza Bonadonna and will involve the active collaboration with the Earth Observatory of Singapore; the University of South Florida, USA; the Politecnico di Milano, Italy; the East Tennessee State University, USA; and the University of Naples “Federico II”, Italy. The project will also engage multiple national institutions in Chile and Argentina, including SEGEMAR (Servicio Geológico Minero Argentino); SERNAGEOMIN (Servicio Nacional de Geología y Minería – Chile); the Buenos Aires Volcanic Ash Advisory Center; and INTA (Instituto Nacional de Tecnología Agropecuaria – Argentina).</span></p>
