How light affect our life!
The First African Light Source Conference and Workshop - 16 - 20 Nov 2015
There has been a long history of a global conversation around the need for a Light Source in Africa.
Starting in early August 2014, many of the participants of this conversation collectively advertised as widely as possible for nominations to the Interim Steering Committee for the African Light Source. The set of nominations received were taken as constituting this Committee, which was electronically launched on the 18 August 2014, coinciding with the Forum Day of the African School of Physics, being held in Senegal. There needs to be a mandated vehicle to take the conversation forward.
The Interim Steering Committee for the African Light Source has the limited mandate to initiate a transparent, inclusive and democratic process, incarnated finally in a Workshop, where it can dissolve itself as the more representative and inclusive Steering Committee for the African Light Source is born.
With that foundation, the vision for an African Light Source will gradually be able to take form and mature, attracting support.
