The mission of the African Seismological Commission (AfSC) is to promote the science of seismology within the scientific community of African countries by developing research studies, expanding and enhancing scientific cooperation, and training young scientists.

The following objectives are of particular interest: 

  • Facilitate the exchange of ideas and personal meetings between scientists using the General Assembly of the AfSC, workshops and seminars on particular topics, and discussion forums on emerging issues.
  • Encourage cooperation between individuals and organisations by establishing Working Groups (WGs) on common international interest seismological problems, emphasising new research topics.
  • Promote interdisciplinary studies involving seismology.
  • Encourage cooperation with other African and non-African scientific and engineering communities.
  • Organise, and encourage others to organise training courses in Earthquake and Engineering Seismology, especially for young scientists.
  • Operate within the bylaws, regulations and recommendations of the International Association of Seismology and Physics of the Earth´s Interior (IASPEI).
