Although there are two international scientific journals devoted to philoso-phy of chemistry, the Latin American presence in both is still incipient. More-over, the International Society for the Philosophy of Chemistry yearly organ-izes a symposium, but this event is not always accessible to scholars from dis-tant corners of the globe, particularly because of the high cost of travel and conference attendance. These were the reasons to organize this first Sympo-sium on the Philosophy of Chemistry in Latin America with the first aim of bringing together worldwide leaders in the Philosophy of Chemistry to discuss the most recent advances in the area and the frontier themes to be studied in the future. The second aim of this event was to spread Latin American results in phi-losophy of chemistry and to facilitate the scientific discussion between all the participants
