A Special Session under the IUPAP/UNESCO International Colloquium on Physics for Society: Illuminating Innovation: Synchrotron Science, Quantum Frontiers, and Africa’s Scientific Future
The webinar is organized as part of the UNESCO/International Union of Pure and Applied Physics (IUPAP) physics for society colloquium series. The second webinar in the UNESCO/IUPAP Physics for Society Colloquium Series, entitled “Illuminating Innovation: Synchrotron Science, Quantum Frontiers, and Africa’s Scientific Future”, will take place online via Zoom on Tuesday, 27 May at 13-14:30 CEST.
In the spirit of science diplomacy, this colloquium will highlight the vital role of synchrotrons in advancing research, supporting the development of quantum science ecosystems, and fostering regional and international collaboration.
The webinar will highlight international collaborations such as SESAME in the Middle East, the advocacy efforts of the African Light Source Foundation, and the strategic role of science diplomacy in mobilizing support for African participation in global research infrastructures.
This special session is organised in the context of the International Decade of Sciences for Sustainable Development (IDSSD) and the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology (IYQ).
