Delegates from Mexico, Brazil, Uruguay, Colombia, Peru, Spain, Argentine and Cuba participated in this constitution. The creation of Latin American Physics Education Network was also warranted by the General Assembly of the IX Inter-American Conference on Physics Education held in San José, Costa Rica from 3 to 7 July 2006.
