Abstract

Various panel sessions were organized to highlight the activities of the African Strategy for Fundamental and Applied Physics (ASFAP) Working Groups during the second African Conference of Fundamental and Applied Physics (ACP2021) that was held in March 7-11, 2022. A joint session was devoted to highlight the activities assigned to the Light Sources, Accelerators, Biophysics, Earth Sciences, Atomic and Molecular Physics, and Condensed Matter and Materials Physics Working Groups. Major outcomes and recommendations are demonstrated and deliberated in this contribution.
