Description

The paper gives a brief profile on African Physical Society and discusses the role African Physical Society can play towards the establishment of a light source centre in Africa and future planning of workshops and conferences on light sources. It presents how an interface with appropriate Governments officials and ministers will encourage African Countries to investigate their suitability for hosting the facility and assist with a program that sends light source users to various Universities and other institutes to the light source Centre. It discusses how African Physical Society can identify companies in various African countries that could benefit from the use of light sources, and how African Physical Society could facilitate students and researchers visit to international Light sources for training and research.
