Financial support application
We applied for financial support with the Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo (FAPESP). However, we don't know when we will recieve their answer, it may be as late as only a month before the meeting. Therefore, we cannot count on this support, and we strongly recommend you to look for support from other sources.
Participants from São Paulo state who do not have any funding sourcescan request financial support to the LOC [viscacha.project@gmail.com]. There will be limited resources from FAPESP, depending on FAPESP approval. The LOC recommends that if you intend to apply for this, please make a full registration now and send your request to the LOC.
Abstract submission and registration
The meeting is planned to have approximately 12 talks, 2 round tables and 3 sprint sessions between Monday and Wednesday (no posters). Thursday and Friday will be dedicated to collaborative work having all experts together, which makes it more efficient.
We encourage everyone to submit an abstract for a talk. If you think that your contribution is not developed enough for a talk, feel free to contact us in advance at viscacha.project@gmail.com. It may be that your contribution is indeed valid and useful for the discussions, as this is a collaboration meeting.
The deadline for registration with an abstract is 15/Jun.
If you still do not want to present a talk, but would like to participate, you are more than welcome. The round tables, sprint sessions and collaborative environment will benefit a lot from your participation.
The deadline for registration without an abstract is 03/Jul.
The registration fee is R$150 for undergraduate or masters students, R$250 for PhD students, R$400 for post-docs, R$600 for faculty. For non-members of the VISCACHA collaboration, the registration fee is according to their category plus R$50 extra. The registration fee must be paid upon arrival.
Registration form can be found in here (it works well with Chrome and Safari, there are some reports of Firefox not working).

Logistics: flights and hotel
We strongly recommend you to book your flights as soon as possible, because the prices are increasing fast. However, if you depend upon support from FAPESP, you can only buy it after we have their approval. Please contact the LOC if this is your case.
Do not book any hotel for now, because we are talking to the nearby options to try a good agreement for all the participants.

Social and outreach activities, and tourism : more on this in a future announcement.

- Announcing the 2023 La Serena School for Data Science
We are happy to announce that applications for the 2023 "La Serena School for Data Science: Applied Tools for Data-driven Sciences" are open. The school is a great opportunity for students to learn statistical and computational tools for working in the "Big Data" paradigm. This year, the school will be hosted during August 7-17. The school is aimed to advanced undergraduate and early graduate students in Astronomy, Physics, Statistics, Math, Computer Science, Biology and related fields. Students currently in US and Chilean institutions are eligible for full or partial scholarships. Please, encourage your students to apply! Feel free to distribute this message to professors or student who may find this information relevant.
For more information, please visit our website at: http://lssds.aura-astronomy.org/winter_school/

- Registration open for the 43rd International School for Young Astronomers in Tonantzintla, México.
The 43rd International School for Young Astronomers, ISYA2023Mx, will take place in Tonantzintla, Mexico, from the 17th of July to the 4th of August 2023. The International School for Young Astronomers (ISYA) is a long-tradition project of the International Astronomical Union (IAU), nowadays also co-sponsored by the Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters (NASL) through the Office for Young Astronomers (OYA). The 43rd school is co-organized by the OYA, and the Instituto Nacional de Astrofísica, Óptica y Electrónica (INAOE).
We invite applications to attend this School from students in their early MSc/PhD studies and some senior undergraduates in the Americas, especially from Latin American and Caribbean countries.
The 43rd ISYA aims to broaden the attending young students' perspective on Astronomy from their exposure to an intensive three-week program of lectures with up-to-date astrophysics, both on theory and observations, led by an international team of experts. Students will learn about different astronomical fields, from exoplanets to cosmology, and acquire technical expertise to analyze current astronomical data and models, mainly from accessible and large databases. An exciting possibility for areas of the world that do not have access to telescopes is to carry out quality research with the enormous variety of astrophysical databases that are freely available to the community. Therefore, this is one of the main objectives of this school: to show students what kind of projects and science can be done with these databases.
The official language of the School will be English.
Although the ISYA is not a research conference, we encourage students to submit posters to present a summary of their research projects.
Apart from the academic school activities, students will also have the opportunity to experience the archaeological, artistic and scientific environments of the central valleys of Mexico through a series of cultural visits, events and travels.
We will accept around 30 young astronomers, and they will be granted scholarships to cover travel from the home cities and the entire board during the School. All selected students are expected to commit 100% of their time to the three-week long program and participate in all scheduled activities.
Registration is now open at: https://www.inaoep.mx/~isya2023
