| Description |
Target language: Spanish. We welcome potential participants regardless of their nationality and geographical location to apply as long as they can follow the seminars and ideally contribute with questions. The registration is moderated. The goal of this online activity is to build a regional network of students, professors, and researchers in Central America (and possibly other abroad) interested in quantum and classical field theory, high-energy theoretical physics, quantum gravity, general relativity, cosmology, and related areas. Through a seminar series, participants can discuss recent findings by regional and international speakers. Through the journal club, they may discuss scientific articles, present topics, and interact with other researchers. Interested members may also meet at participating Central American universities to follow the online sessions together. The program aims to strengthen research and collaboration in theoretical physics in the region, and open collaboration abroad. No diplomas or formal certificates will be issued.
