    Description

    The aim of this meeting, which is scheduled to take place during two consecutive afternoons in Sao Paulo (on Monday and Tuesday) is to discuss options for IUPAP to engage better with the physical societies and communities of the region helping with their development and impact. Presentations will be made of IUPAP, IUPAP members from the region and of various regional initiatives and organizations. These presentations will be followed by discussions on potential collaborative activities in the region as well as of funding options. A more detailed agenda will be announced soon.
