 (2005), Isla Margarita (2007), and  More?lia (2010), Latin American Regional
IAU Meetings (LARIM) have witnessed tremendous advances in astronomy, and
have played an important role in bringing together scientists, fostering
collaborations and interchanges at various levels and different areas.

 

Following the tradition of the LARIMs, the meeting will cover topics such as
planetary systems, stars, stellar systems, star formation, ISM, galaxies,
AGN, cosmology, high energy astrophysics, instrumentation, history, teaching
