Research on Gravitation, Astrophysics, and Cosmology in Argentina and
Brazil has reached a substantial degree of development. The main goal
of the GrACo series of meetings is to stimulate and reinforce the
collaboration between these two well-established scientific
communities with the intention to undertake long-term joint research
programs and to continue fostering the current collaborations.</p>

The first meeting was held in Foz do Iguaçu, Brazil, in October
2011; the second meeting was held in Buenos Aires, Argentina, in
April 2014; the third meeting was held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in
April 2016. The balance of participation between Brazilians and
Argentinians are a proof of the importance and the support from both
scientific communities to this series of meeting, encompassing a wide
range of topics, that offered a complete panorama of the research
lines of both communities. The organization of the fourth meeting of
the GrACo series aims at strengthening the links between both
communities, to continue fostering the effort for long-term
collaborations, by fully involving a larger number of researchers and
students in the discussions. It would be enough free time to
encourage interaction and discussion between the participants which
are very welcome to present their current researchs.</p>
