of the board of directors of the African Laser Centre (ALC)
at the organisation's second annual general meeting (AGM),
hosted by the University of Zambia in Lusaka. The newly-elected
board will serve for a period of two years.
The meeting was officially opened by the Zambian Minister

recently-appointed Chief Executive Officer of the ALC, Professor
Aboubaker Beye, presented a draft operational plan to members.
The AGM was followed by a members' meeting, where researchers
presented their research that is funded by ALC grants. A
laser training school was held prior to the AGM, attended
by postgraduate physics students of the University of Zambia.
