CLAF-CNRS Latin-American Astro-particle Physics International
Research Network Kick-off Meeting
15 April 2026
Room 646A, Condorcet Building
APC, Paris, France

The Latin-American Center for Physics and the French National Centre for Scientific Research invite the participation of interested researchers for the kick-off meeting to launch the activities of the CLAF-CNRS Latin-American Astro-particle Physics International Research Network, which will take place at the APC, in Paris, on April 15 th , 2026.
The goal of the meeting is to bring together the French and Latin-American sides involved in the coordination of the network to share the status of Astro-particle Physics Research at CNRS and in Latin-American institutions, in order to plan for the start of network activities.
The network will gather groups from the Astro-particle Physics and Cosmology experiments hosted in Latin-America which have direct CNRS involvement and which are set to cooperate under the regional umbrella of CLAF. It will aim to expand the regional impact of the field and of the experiments already present in the continent, promoting new fronts of collaborative research and further strengthening the scientific ties with CNRS and interested partners in the region.
