What is GalFid about?

GalFid is a series of seminars pertaining mainly to topics of galaxy evolution, through a mixture of contributions from Galactic Fidelity (GalFid) members and invited speakers from around the world. Our target audience are members of African institutions, but we also have (and are open to additional) attendees beyond the continent.

Our webinars are usually at 15:00 SAST on Wednesdays, although this is adjusted to take into account the timezone of our speakers. To access recordings of past talks, online textbooks, and the calendar – and to receive GalFid notifications – please register here.
