The Asociación Latinoamericana de Geofísica Espacial (ALAGE) is an autonomous scientific society that aims to foster research development in Space Geophysics, leveraging human resources, cultural unity and similar economic conditions in Latin America. ALAGE seeks to complement the activities of existing regional geophysical organizations.

One of ALAGE‘s main activities is the periodic organization of meetings attended by scientists working in the ALAGE areas of interest. These meetings, known as Conferencia Latinoamericana de Geofísica Espacial (COLAGE), have been held in various locations:
Brazil (1988), Mexico (1991), Cuba (1993), Argentina (1996), Costa Rica (1998), Chile (2001), Brazil (2004), Mexico (2007), Costa Rica (2011), Peru (2014), Argentina (2018), Chile (2021, online), and Brazil (2022).

The XIV COLAGE will take place in Monterrey, NL, Mexico, at the Library Raúl Rangel Frias-UANL from 9-12 April on the occasion of the Total Solar Eclipse in Mexico in 2024 .

COLAGE International Space Science School (ISSS)

Historically, ALAGE also promotes schools associated with COLAGEs. The International Space Science School (ISSS) will take place from April 13 to 14, 2024, at the same venue as the XIV COLAGE. The aim of the school is promoting knowledge and training for undergraduate, master’s and doctoral candidates, from all over the world, in the area of Space Sciences, covering topics such as the Sun and Solar Activity, Interplanetary Medium and the Solar Wind, Magnetosphere, Ionosphere, High Atmosphere, Planetary Sciences, and Space Weather.
