THE LEGACY

Some identities are more than a logo. They are a record of where we have been.

For years, this symbol has represented the Network of African Science Academies (NASAC) connecting scientific minds, institutions and ideas across Africa.

It has carried our story, witnessed our growth, and stood as a familiar mark of our commitment to advancing science for Africa.

But every great journey evolves.

As we prepare to reveal a new chapter for NASAC, we begin by honouring the identity that brought us here.

This is where the story began.

The Legacy.

Stay with us as we reveal what comes next.
