Latin American School and Workshop on Gravity and Holography
December 1-3 and 5-7, 2022
Santiago, Chile
The Latin American Workshop on Gravity and Holography (LAWGH) is a biannual event organized by the Siembra-HoLAGrav network since 2018. The main purpose of this network is to promote a sense community among physicists from Latin American countries working in Holography and related topics. We aim to fuel scientific collaborations, support emerging research groups and contribute to the training of future Latin American researchers. In this sense, LAWGH plays a crucial role by allowing us to interact directly with leading members of the international community, keep up with the state of the art and showcase our own contributions to the field.
This year’s edition of LAWGH is marked by the 25th anniversary of Juan Maldacena’s groundbreaking work on AdS/CFT, and we want to celebrate accordingly. As preparation for the Workshop we will host the Latin American School on Gravity and Holography, directed at students of all levels.
