Abstract
Africa is the only habitable continent without a synchrotron light source. A full steering committee was elected at the African Light Source (AfLS) conference on November 16-20, 2015 at the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESRF) in Grenoble, France. The conference brought together African scientists, policy makers, and stakeholders to discuss a synchrotron light source in Africa. Firm outcomes of the Conference were a set of resolutions and a roadmap. Additionally, a collaborative proposal to promote Advanced Light Sources and crystallographic sciences in targeted regions of the world was submitted by the International Union of Pure and Applied Physics (IUPAP) and the International Union of Crystallography (IUCr) to the International Council for Science (ICSU). www.africanlightsource.org.
