On November 3, 2013, Gabon and other countries in Africa experienced a total solar eclipse.
This was a unique cosmic event, as well as a lifetime opportunity to talk/walk science, technology and related in/for Gabon/Africa.
The Gabon-based organizing committee for the eclipse was chaired by the Gabonese Space Agency (AGEOS). In parallel, various continent-wide initiatives  took off  to consolidate the PAN-AFRICAN intention to make this eclipse, a fun and unique intra-african as well as international collaboration.

NOMMO ASTRONOMIA, a stakeholder in the Gabonese organizing committee was a driving force behind the plan
for a regional workshop for astronomy and space science in Libreville, capital city of Gabon. The workshop served as an initial platform for further regional interaction towards a greater use of (space) science for a better Life for us, in Africa.

A goal shared by the International Astronomical Union Office of Astronomy for Development, a key stakeholder in this additional endeavour towards the (scientific) renaissance of AFRICA.
