2023 African Light Source Conference call for abstracts

[Simon Billinge]

The 2023 version of the AfLS conference will be alongside the AfPS (African Physical Society meeting this year, November 13-17th

The meeting is virtual and there is no conference fee to attend, so the cost to attend is low (free essentially).  I encourage materials scientists who want better access to x-ray characterization to present their work there.  The light source will not be built if there is no community of potential users.  You do not need to be presenting x-ray results, but materials science that would benefit from x-rays, to enter into the conversation. 

The web-site to submit abstracts is here:

https://events.saip.org.za/event/243/

The abstract submission deadline is on 15th October in 2 days.  As I said, I encourage you to come and join the party, present your work, listen to other talks, even if you just want access to x-rays and haven't done an x-ray experiment.

Should American students submit abstracts too?

yes indeed, if you are interested.   

It would be highly welcome to have abstracts from American students.  It might be better if US-based talks had an x-ray component in them though.  This also helps to build the x-ray community in Africa by giving examples of how x-rays were used, especially synchrotron x-rays, in interesting scientific cases.

Good morning Simon,

Can observers attend?

Is the Zoom link somewhere??

I wanted to interest some African students who are not yet at that level, jut to listen in and maybe take further interest. 

Best regards,

Mazzi

By the way, I leave for UG tomorrow evening. I am VA.
