ASSA is launching a Special Project entitled 30 Under 30 to identify young astronomers in Southern Africa and support their research and careers.

ASSA will publish a list of 30 young astronomers from Southern Africa, with details of their accomplishments and specific research interests. The list will include Master’s and PhD students or young professional astronomers, under the age of 30 and highlight and support their work through:

  • Publishing in the Monthly Notes of ASSA
  • Inviting them to speak at the ASSA 100 Symposium
  • Connecting them with employment and research opportunities in SA and globally

Both individuals and institutions are encouraged to nominate promising young individuals at the below link:
