The aim of the meeting is to foster the interaction of researchers and students acting in this field in Brazil, and neighbouring countries, promoting cross collaboration among different institutions. The program of the workshop is composed of short talks and significant time for discussions, practical activities and hack sessions.

 

Topics include:

• - Weak and Strong Lensing studies on galaxy and galaxy cluster scales

• - Applications to cosmology and modified gravity tests

• - The study of the lenses and of high-redshift galaxies

• - Theoretical approaches and observational data in the whole electromagnetic spectrum

• - Lensing of gravitational waves.
