GoingToMeet

Latin American Mössbauer spectroscopists gather each two years to exchange ideas, establish collaborations, and discuss the advances on the different scientific topics that the laboratories across the region investigate. The venue of the LACAMEs has changed to include not only those countries with more tradition in MS, but also has been decisive to developing laboratories in many countries were few scientists dedicated to using the technique. Since 1988, the LACAME has been held in Rio de Janeiro, Havana, Buenos Aires, Santiago de Chile, Cusco, Cartagena de Indias, Caracas, Panamá City, México D.F, and has started a new series in 2006 in Rio de Janeiro.
This cycle of biennial conferences aims at encouraging the knowledge and scientific exchange between the research groups and applied science relevant to the needs of the Latin American countries. At the same time, it allows that young researchers, students and the societies in general, can meet with foreign visitors that come to the conferences and bring along their expertise and last development in the different topics covered in the scientific programs. This kind of scientific achievements would not be possible to the broad majority of the young researchers because of the vast geography of the region, the high costs of transportation and the scant budgets that are common to almost all the laboratories in Latin America.
