DESCRIPTION:\n    *** Note : The time zone of the web page is controlled b
 y you as an Indico Setting (top right)\n\n    *** Note : The times will th
 erefore be shifted if you are not set to Africa / Accra\n\n    \n    Joint
  Conference of the Pan African Conference on Crystallography (PCCr2) and t
 he African Synchrotron Light Source (AfLS2)\n\n    \n    The second Africa
 n Light Source Conference (AfLS2) will be held as a Joint Conference with 
 the Pan African Conference on Crystallography (PCCr2) in Accra\, Ghana fr
 om 28th Jan to 2nd Feb 2019.\n     \n\n    The Pan African Conference on 
 Crystallography (PCCr2)\n     \n\n    The PCCr2 follows a very successful
  PCCr1 held in Dschang Cameroon in 2016.\n    Please find a direct link to
  the PCCr2 Website here and the IuCR-PCCr2 Site here\n\n    Please find t
 he first annoucement of PCCr2 here\, and the PCCr1 report here.\n    \n   
  The Pan African Conference on Crystallography is designed to bring togeth
 er crystallographers\, mineralogists and solid state scientists from Afric
 a and beyond. The aim is to promote crystallography and explore educationa
 l opportunities for researchers in the field. The benefits of which are no
 t just limited to academia\, but industry as well. Attending PCCr2 will he
 lp you share and gain more knowledge and grow your professional network as
  well as discovering new opportunities for growth in your career or academ
 ia. The Conference continues to attract more researchers and scientists as
  the years go on. We believe all the objectives of the conference will be 
 realized in the near future. The PCCr2  will launch the African Crystall
 ography Association (AfCA) which aims to  network all African crystallogr
 aphers and structural scientists.\n     \n\n    The Second African Light 
 Source Conference (AfLS2) : towards a brighter future\n\n    \n    The AfL
 S2 comes after the successful first African Light Source Conference and W
 orkshop (AfLS1) held at the ESRF in Grenoble in November 2015.  During 
 the AfLS1\, the roadmap towards the ultimate establishment of an AfLS was 
 developed\, together with a Steering Committee which had both a large Afri
 can and global footprint. The Roadmap relates to developing the user base\
 , the projects\, deep capacity building\, promoting networks\, scientific 
 and technical exchanges\, building associated local infrastructural capaci
 ty\, raising the profile of the project politically and developing the Pan
  African strategic plan with African leadership.\n      \n    The second
  African light source conference will review the light source based scienc
 e and also progresses the vision of an African Light Source. This conferen
 ce will cover topics that include Medical Sciences\, Heritage Sciences\, G
 eosciences\, Environmental sciences\, Energy Sciences\, Nano Sciences\, Ma
 terials Sciences\, Mineral Sciences\, Accelerator and Detector Sciences\, 
 Competitive Industry\, Capacity Building and Infrastructures. There will a
 lso be sessions on the strategy and vision for an African light source. D
 etails on the AfLS project are here.\n    \n    PCCr2 and AfLS2 will hold 
 a joint Conference. It is co-located\, and interdigitated\, with both shar
 ed and parallel sessions. We look forward to a fruitful partnership progre
 ssing the aims of both conferences. \n\n\n    Participation\n\n    Partic
 ipants will be African scientists and students\, and also the internationa
 l colleagues\, who have conducted research related to or enabled by the cr
 ystal state of matter\, and also research enabled by modern Light Sources.
  The strategic components of both conferences includes policy-making sessi
 ons.\n    \n    Both English and French speaker African scientists are wel
 come to attend the conference. The conference will be in both languages (E
 nglish and French)\, even though most presentations and discussions will b
 e in English. \n\n     \n\n    Programme Outline\n\n    The programme is
  available from the Programme link in the left hand menu. The programme de
 tails\, as they are updated\, are available in the Timetable link on the l
 eft hand menu.\n\n    \n        PCCr2 - sessions are in orange\n    \n    
     AfLS2- sessions are in purple\n    \n        Joint PCCr2 and AfLS2 - s
 essions are in green\n\n\n     \n\n    Students and Early Career Scientis
 ts welcome\n\n    Students and Early Career Scientists who would like to a
 ttend should register and in addition apply for support using the link in 
 the left panel.\n    \n    Language Policy\n    All languages are welcome 
 to attend the conference (the conference can be both in French and English
  as international languages).\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    The joint PCCr2-AfLS2 confe
