Big Science and Big Goals for Africa

The time zone is controlled by you as an Indico Setting (top right). The session times will therefore be shifted if you are not set to UTC.

Welcome to the 2026 Joint Conference of the African Light Source (AfLS) and the African Physical Society (AfPS), which is co-convened with several other Pan African professional science societies.  The conference program will cover a broad range of topics in different sessions.

Advanced light sources support multiple disciplines. We have a shared vision to establish an advanced light source on the African continent.  We hope that you will join us as we communicate, strategize, and collaborate on Big Science and Big Goals for Africa.

Programme Outline

The format of this exciting online conference will allow attendees to take full advantage of the overlap between the different participating organizations. All registrants will be able to attend any sessions with a single registration.
