The African Summer Theory
Institute (ASTI) is an annual
gathering of people interested in doing science. It is for students,
professional educators and researchers to come together to learn about
exciting topics at the forefront of scientific research. Also, they
will exchange ideas and experiences about not just the science itself,
but also the teaching and learning of science, and furthering careers
in science. High school teachers, undergraduate and postgraduate
students, and postdoctoral researchers are especially encouraged to
attend. See more about our goals and outlook here.
The 2004 ASTI was held in Cape
Town, South Africa, 12th-30th
January. It was attended by Undergraduates, Graduate Students,
Postdocs, Lecturers and High School Teachers. It had as its focus the
topic "Fundamental Physics", with
lectures, seminars, colloquia and discussions on Astronomy, Cosmology,
Particle Physics, Black Holes and Quantum Gravity, and Superstring
Theory. There were also extra workshops on Science and Mathematics
for the High School Teachers. Find more about ASTI 2004 here.
Future years' ASTIs will have
topics from other areas of
science as wide ranging as from Health Sciences to Quantum Computing.
You are invited to help organise one!
