"Connecting Astronomy in Africa: A Pathway to growth"

We are thrilled to invite you to register for the African Astronomical Society (AfAS) Conference and General Assembly 2025, set to take place from 23 to 28 March 2025 at the University of South Africa (UNISA) in Gauteng. This hybrid event will bring together professionals, researchers, students, education and outreach officers, policymakers, and international partners from Africa and beyond for three days of insightful discussions, collaborative workshops, side events, and networking opportunities.

AfAS-2025 will celebrate Africa’s growing role in the global astronomical community, featuring scientific sessions, outreach highlights, and updates on education and development initiatives. Building on the legacy of the 2024 International Astronomical Union General Assembly (IAU-GA) in Cape Town, this year’s programme will focus on astronomy’s transformative role in science and society. Participants will discuss the latest advancements in the field, explore projects, and address strategies for enhancing astronomy infrastructure across the continent.

The conference will also elect a new AfAS Executive Committee. The General Assembly will engage with members to reflect on recent achievements, review updates to the AfAS Constitution, and discuss strategies to enhance member benefits and the Society's sustainability.

Participants can explore Gauteng’s vibrant cultural scene, with its rich history, museums, and diverse dining options. Whether attending in person or online, we invite you to join us in celebrating our achievements and future.
