Estimadas y estimados Académicos:
La Red Interamericana de Academias de Ciencias (IANAS), en colaboración con las Academias Nacionales de Ciencias, Ingeniería y Medicina de Estados Unidos (NASEM), la Academia Brasileña de Ciencias (ABC) y la Fundación de Apoyo a la Investigación del Estado de São Paulo (FAPESP), ha lanzado la convocatoria para el Simposio Connections to Sustain Science in Latin America 2026, que se llevará a cabo en São Paulo, Brasil, del 25 al 27 de agosto de 2026.
Las solicitudes deben enviarse en línea antes de la fecha límite del 15 de abril de 2026 a las 11:59 p. m. (hora del Este, Washington D. C.).
Esta es una excelente oportunidad para investigadores en etapas tempranas o medias de su carrera, y sin duda será de interés para jóvenes científicos mexicanos. Por esta razón, nos han solicitado difundir esta información y el mensaje anexo a continuación.
Atentamente,
Dr. José A. Seade
Presidente de la Academia Mexicana de Ciencias

The Inter-American Network of Academies of Sciences (IANAS), in partnership with the U.S. National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (NASEM), the Brazilian Academy of Sciences (ABC), and the São Paulo Research Foundation (FAPESP), has launched the call for the Connections to Sustain Science in Latin America Symposium 2026, which will take place in São Paulo, Brazil, on August 25-27, 2026.
Applications must be submitted online before the deadline of April 15, 2026, at 11:59 PM ET (Washington, D.C. time).
The symposium will bring together outstanding early/mid‑career scientists, engineers, and medical professionals (within 15 years of completing their highest degree) from across the Americas to explore exciting advances and opportunities in their fields. The event will be conducted in English and aims to enhance scientific exchange and dialogue among young researchers in the region, promoting collaboration within and beyond Latin America. A unique feature of this symposium is its multidisciplinary nature. Participants come from diverse backgrounds and research interests, with the goal of catalyzing convergence research, innovation, and the cross‑pollination of ideas – distinct from traditional conferences focused on a single topic.
The session themes will be: (1) Artificial Intelligence in Life Sciences; (2) Oceans; (3) Biomedicine / Omics; (4) The Amazon and Sustainability; and (5) Resilience to Extreme Events.
I kindly ask for your help in broadly disseminating this opportunity and encouraging early/mid‑career scientists, engineers, and medical professionals in Mexico who work in related areas to apply to this multidisciplinary meeting.
