Description

In 2024, for the first time in the 100 year history of the International Astronomical Union, the General Assembly will take place on the African continent! This meeting encompasses more than logistics; it represents the vision of a dedicated cohort of African astronomers, and an opportunity to welcome the global astronomy community to Africa. We will present the current status of plans for General Assembly in 2024, and how we may align with existing physics and astronomy initiatives on the continent to create the broadest possible impact in research, education, outreach and development.
