Program

The Irrational Squared "PIPI" Meeting II, to be held at the Facultad de Ciencias Astronómicas y Geofísicas, Universidad Nacional de La Plata, Argentina, between the 4th and the 6th of November, 2026, will honor the legacy of Héctor Vucetich. This gathering will feature invited talks focusing on high energy processes and compact objects in the Universe, moreover other research topics that were of great interest to Héctor would be addresses. In this way the converence will offer a comprehensive update on the latest developments across various scientific fields. Aiming to foster interdisciplinary cooperation among scientists, researchers, and students, the meeting will address topics in Astrophysics, Gravitation, Cosmology, and Philosophy, encouraging both scientific exchange and a shared passion for knowledge.



The schedule of the meeting will be announced soon
