Participation in a Technical/Scientific meeting about the SOAR IFU spectrograph being constructed at the LNA. (B.V. Castilho)
Participation in the SOAR S.A.C. meeting. Presentation of a proposal of an Échelle spectrograph for the second generation of SOAR instruments. Continuation of the discussions about the SIFUS reduction software. (B.V. Castilho)
Collaboration under the CNPq/CNRS cooperation Project: ``Galaxies: Stellar Populations, Evolution and Environmental Conditions''. In this collaboration the following projects were developped in collaboration with Drs. Roger Cyarel, Francois Spite, Monique Spite, and Vanessa Hill: Atomic and Molecular line list for the region 2000-3000 Å; Spectrum Synthesis for CS31082-001; CNO abundances and 12C/13C ratios for a sample of Li-rich giants. (B.V. Castilho)
Collaboration with Jean Guibert at the "Centre d'Analyse des Images" on the project of T Tauri stars proper motions determinations (objects at the Northern Hemisphere and X-rays sources that are young stars candidates). This collaboration has been developed with C. Ducourant (Observatoire de Bordeaux) and R. Teixeira (IAG/USP) (M.J. Sartori)
