The European Southern Observatory (ESO) and the Sociedad Chilena de Astronomía (SOCHIAS) have organized the LATIN AMERICAN ASTRONOMY SUMMER SCHOOL. It took place in Santiago, Chile, 8-10 December 2005, the week before the Regional Meeting of the International Astronomical Union, held on 12-16 December 2005 in Pucón, Chile (~800 km south of Santiago).

The aim of this multi-thematic Latin American School was to provide students and young researchers exposure to different front-line areas of research being presented by major players in the promotion and/or execution of those areas. The lectures had a pedagogical character.
