This workshop, the first of the series, was held in Buenos Aires, Argentina, in April 2011. In addition to the scientific meeting, a discussion was held with engineers of Geoconsult SA, and ANDES was presented to local scientific authorities. 33 scientists discussed topics of underground physics for two days, followed by a day of workshop. The presentation to the authorities and closing of the event spanned half the last day. The complete list of participants can be consulted here.
