ASEN: its educational programme across African sub-Saharan

In-person conference on 1 - 2 June 2023, University of Lusaka, Zambia

How can we, collectively, make available astrosciences across Africa? NoRCEL has been active on the continent since 2015, steadily delivering inspirational talks and workshops. The international team at NoRCEL in collaboration with local scientists, that is our Astroscience Exploration Network (ASEN) team members, are exploring the possible ways forward to enable extending awareness and education in astroscience in sub-Saharan Africa. Our first event will be an in-person conference entitled: “Pioneering the dissemination of astroscience in sub-Saharan Africa” at the University of Lusaka, Zambia (thanks largely to Fred Nambala) on 1-2 June 2023.

We call upon the global astroscience community, including and especially those in Africa to support our efforts and attend this event. Attendance at the event is urged because we will be brain-storming ideas about the way forward with astroscience in Africa. You can forward an abstract (maximum 500 words) on any topic related to astrophysics, astrochemistry, astrobiology, geoscience, atmospheric sciences, planet formation etc., for consideration for an oral presentation at ASEN2023. Please visit https://norcel.net and contact Sohan Jheeta, at sohan@sohanjheeta.com. Please help make this particular conference a success: we need you: Africa needs you.
