Professor Ton Dietz, director of the African Studies Centre Leiden, will be retiring on 1 September 2017. He will give his valedictory lecture Africa: Still a silver lining on the development of Africa on Monday 25 September. You are very welcome to attend, however, there are no more seats available in the lecture hall. You can watch the lecture via a TV screen in adjacent rooms. Since we expect many people for Ton's lecture we cannot guarantee a seat here either. The lecture will be streamed live on our Facebook page: www.facebook.com/ascleiden. On Tuesday 26 September the live registration of the lecture will become available online.
