The Conceptual Design Report (CDR) is an important founding document for any large scale research infrastructure. In the case of the African Light Source (AfLS, we will have a CDR with four volumes:
* Volume I. Political, Economic Development and Management Concepts
* Volume II. Machine Design Concepts
* Volume III. Scientific Cases and Technical Capabilities
* Volume IV....

Being able to visualize biology at the molecular level is essential for our understanding of the world. A structural biology approach reveals the molecular basis of disease processes and can guide the design of new drugs as well as aid in the optimization of existing medicines. However, due to the lack of a synchrotron light source, adequate infrastructure, skilled persons and incentives for...

New materials for the capture of light and mechanical energy can potentially enable low-cost and innovative renewable sources of energy while eliminating negative effects on the environment that are inherent when non-renewable sources of energy are utilised. Energy materials characterisation with synchrotron x-rays is a vital tool for the development of modern and next generation energy...

This seminal session has two parts.
Part 1 will launch and premiere the Letters of Support for the AfLS, received from Institutions and light sources, world wide. Also included are the MoUs and MoAs concluded so far. The AfLS is both an organisation and a broad umbrella for organisations that all share a vision of the AfLS.
Part 2 will be an opportunity for Directors of selected Light...
