ASEN2025 – Astroscience on the African Continent
Astroscience presents Africa with a unique opportunity to play a central role in the global search for extraterrestrial life and unravel the chemical origins of life. The continent’s diverse landscapes serve as invaluable natural laboratories mirroring extraterrestrial conditions. These environments are crucial for astrobiology, aiding in identifying biosignatures and simulating potential life-sustaining ecosystems on planets like Mars and icy moons, such as Europa.
In astrochemistry, Africa’s state-of-the-art facilities, like the Square Kilometre Array (SKA), empower researchers to explore organic molecules in space and their role in life’s origins. By integrating astrochemistry with local expertise in organic sciences, Africa can take the lead in this revolutionary field.
This HYBRID conference will enhance scientific dialogue, international collaboration, and provide African scientists with cutting-edge research insights.
We look forward to your contributions to this landmark event!
