38 Summary Summary and Conclusions The Latin American Giant Observatory is an emergent Latin American Collaboration of astrophysics researchers. The LAGO experiment is made up of several low-cost WCDs in many countries in Latin America. The main scientific objectives are the detection of GRBs and a the study of Space Weather and related phenomena. LAGO is currently expanding and surfing a new wave of excitement. We long to take advantage of the golden age for astroparticle physics in Latin America by building a strong regional integration. Edgar Carrera (USFQ) The LAGO Project May 27, / 18
