The time zone is controlled by you as an Indico Setting (top right). The session times will therefore be shifted if you are not set to Central Africa Time (CAT) = GMT+2.

Welcome to the 2024 joint hybrid meeting of the African Light Source (AfLS), the African Physical Society (AfPS), and co-convened with several other Pan African professional science societies.  We hope that you will join us as we communicate and celebrate Big Science and Big Goals for Africa!

Advanced light sources support multiple disciplines. We have a vision to establish an advanced light source on the African continent.
