The 8th African School on Electronic Structure Methods and Applications (ASESMA 2025) has opened at the University of Ghana, bringing together scientists from across Africa and globally. The two-week programme aims to equip early-career researchers with advanced computational tools to tackle development challenges through materials science and quantum-based research.
Vice-Chancellor Prof. Nana Aba Appiah Amfo emphasized the importance of computational science in addressing Africa’s real-world problems and highlighted the University’s commitment to multidisciplinary collaboration and female representation in STEM.
Italian Ambassador H.E. Laura Ranalli reaffirmed Italy’s support through ICTP, encouraging continued scientific partnerships to expand Africa’s research capacity.
Prof. Mark Sandow Yidana, Provost of the College of Basic and Applied Sciences, underscored the urgency of addressing Africa’s water, energy, and environmental crises, stressing the need for African-led scientific innovation.
ASESMA 2025 includes lectures, tutorials, and a special session on quantum computing, drawing global experts from Switzerland, Germany, France, the USA, India, Spain, and Italy.
