Program


The event will consist of invited lectures and oral communications between the 5th and 8th of September.

On September 9, we invite the participants to visit San Antonio de Los Cobres (180 km far from Salta and at 3600 m of altitude), where operation and maintenance facilities are being installed for the LLAMA. Please, check the last circular before the event. It has important information to plan your arrival to Salta.
