AFCA is member of the International Union of Crystallography (IUCr) as a Regional Association
AfCA Executive Committee
AfCA Steering Committee
The AfCA Steering Committee (AfCA-SC) was launched in October 2016 in Dschang (Cameroon) during the First Pan African Conference on Crystallography (PCCr1) with the main objective of creating the African Crystallographic Association. It has been in place until November 2021, when the AfCA was officially launched during the AfLS/ePCCr/AfPS conference hosted online by the X-TechLab.
For efficiency, the committee has divided the continent into five (5) regions. Each region has one committee member which is responsible for the activities of the AfCA-SC in his/her region. These representatives, together with a secretary and a chair, function as an Executive Committee of the AfCA-SC. Three other persons with significant experience in the running of crystallographic associations are ex-officio members of the Executive Committee of the AfCA-SC. Table 1 presents the names, affiliations and email address of the current ten members of the Executive Committee of the Africa Crystallographic Association Steering Committee (AfCA-SC). Each member of the AfCA-SC Executive Committee supervises the activities of the committee in one of the five regions. Table 2 presents a list of countries with the name of the corresponding committee member of the Executive Committee of the AfCA-SC. This Committee has developed a vision and mission for AfCA.
