As a pan-African organisation, the African Academy of Sciences (AAS) is committed to showcasing some of the excellent science conducted on the continent. As such the Academy is introducing its newly revamped website. The new website comes with a change in the domain, a move from .ac.ke to .africa reflecting Africa's contribution to advancing science. Visit our website www.aasciences.africa to learn more about the AAS and to enjoy the transformative stories of how scientists are contributing to transforming the lives of Africans through science.

Our digital properties deployed as sub-domains – The AAS Events Portal and Fellows Portal – will now be accessible via events.aasciences.africa and fellows.aasciences.africa respectively.
