NEXT TALK

The Saturday Online Seminars are the core activity of LAFMAT. Held weekly, they bring together Latin American researchers and invited international speakers to present recent advances and foster scientific discussion and collaboration.

Each seminar consists of a 50-minute talk followed by an open discussion with panelists and the audience. The seminars take place every Saturday at:

  • 7:30 am – El Salvador, Costa Rica, and Mexico

  • 8:30 am – Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru

  • 9:30 am – Bolivia and Venezuela
