DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Marcus Newton (University of Southampton)\nNew mater
 ials for the capture of light and mechanical energy can potentially enable
  low-cost and innovative renewable sources of energy while eliminating neg
 ative effects on the environment that are inherent when non-renewable sour
 ces of energy are utilised. Energy materials characterisation with synchro
 tron x-rays is a vital tool for the development of modern and next generat
 ion energy harvesting and storage technologies.  The advent of the first A
 frican Light Source (AfLS) has the potential to transform the energy mater
 ials and related technology industries that underpin a robust and sustaina
 ble economy. The ASNAEM project aims to expand the local knowledge base an
 d build capacity in the existing synchrotron community in preparation for 
 the AfLS. It will enable sustainable partnerships that extend beyond the l
 ifetime of the project. In this talk\, I will discuss the activities of th
 e ASNAEM project and our vision for synchrotron science at the AfLS.\n\nht
