AfAS2026
22–27 March 2026
Kasane, Botswana

The African Astronomical Society (AfAS) Conference 2026, held from 22-27 March 2026 at Wild View Resorts in Kasane, Botswana, marked a significant milestone as the first AfAS conference hosted in the country. As Africa's flagship gathering for astronomers, astrophysicists, engineers, policymakers, and educators, the conference provided a unique platform to advance dialogue, collaboration, and innovation in astronomy and space science across the continent.
Jointly organised by the Botswana International University of Science and Technology (BIUST) and the Ministry of Communications and Innovation, in collaboration with AfAS and South Africa's Department of Science, Technology and Innovation (DSTI), the conference reflected a growing commitment to strengthening Africa's scientific ecosystem. It fostered interdisciplinary exchange, supported the development of research networks, and promoted capacity building through education, outreach, and knowledge sharing.
Set against the backdrop of Botswana's exceptional night skies and strong national investment in science and innovation, AfAS 2026 highlighted the role of astronomy in driving technological advancement, inspiring youth engagement in STEM, and contributing to sustainable development. The conference brought together diverse voices to help shape the future of African astronomy and reinforce the continent's presence in the global scientific community.
