Description
DEVELOPING THE FUTURE OF PHYSICS IN AFRICA

The African Strategy for Fundamental and Applied Physics (ASFAP) is a continent-wide initiative to define a 10-year roadmap for physics research and education, with a 20-year vision. It connects experts internationally to set priorities, drive collaborations, and make practical recommendations for the future.


WHY ATTEND THE OPEN SYMPOSIUM?

  • Review the draft ASFAP Final Report
Presented in plenary, followed by expert discussions and open feedback from the international community.

  • Contribute feedback to shape the roadmap
  • Connect with leading African and global physicists
  • Strengthen networks across disciplines and regions

ABOUT THE AFRICAN STRATEGY FOR
FUNDAMENTAL AND APPLIED PHYSICS

Mandated by the African Physical Society and endorsed by UNESCO, ASFAP is
a grassroots effort led by physicists.
The process brings together scientists to:
  • Define key research and education priorities
  • Promote collaborations across borders and disciplines
  • Deliver concrete, community-driven recommendations
