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 2025 joint 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.

Detectors Tutorial
It is our pleasure to announce the first African Light Source Detectors Tutorial, which will be held in the afternoon of Tuesday, 18 November 2025, 12-17h30 GMT+2 in conjunction with the joint African Light Source / African Physical Society conference.
This half-day tutorial will give synchrotron users as well as beamline staff an introduction in the technology involved in detectors components and systems. The lectures will be given by senior experts from leading European detectors groups, but will be at a level that can be followed by non-experts.
Please register for the tutorial here, but be sure to register for the main conference as well.
Participation
The Joint Organizing Committee of this meeting observes the basic policy of non-discrimination and affirms the right and freedom of scientists to associate in international scientific activity without regard to factors such as ethnic origin, religion, citizenship, language, political stance, gender, sex or age, in accordance with the Statutes of the International Council for Science.
No barriers, which would prevent the participation of bona fide scientists, will exist at this meeting.
