Good day

We solicit your inputs for the development of the African Strategy for Fundamental and Applied Physics (ASFAP). You may submit your inputs — within the scope of ASFAP working groups — on anything you think is an issue, needs to be improved or is important for physics (fundamental or applied) education and research in Africa.

We refer to these community inputs as letters of Interest (LOI). We are asking for the LOI to be short documents of 2 pages or less (including tables and figures). The submitted LOI will be accessible only within relevant working groups of ASFAP for the purpose to define the major topics to be developed toward the African Strategy report.

LOI submission is open until November 2021. To submit an LOI, please go here

https://indico.cern.ch/event/1061921/

After the deadlines for LOI, the working groups will study them to define their major topics—these will then be discussed during the 2^nd African Conference on Fundamental Applied Physics, ACP2021, planned for December 12-18, 2018: https://indico.cern.ch/event/1060503/

Students, post-docs, teachers, lecturers, professors, senior professors, retired, university officials, research collaborations, professional societies, etc. may submit LOI as individuals or groups.  Anybody (whether Africans or not), from Africa or elsewhere, please give us your opinions through the LOI. Please disseminate through your networks.

You may submit more than one LOI, and you may submit LOIs in different categories—please see here https://indico.cern.ch/event/1061921/.

Please submit your inputs so that your voice and opinion count towards the development of the African Strategy report.

The Steering Committee of ASFAP
