Mauritania
Welcome to the Mauritania country page for the Space Generation Advisory Council!
You’ll find here information about our activities and events related to the space sector.
Mauritania is a country located in north west Africa with 4 million inhabitants and forms a geographic and cultural bridge between the North African Maghreb and the westernmost portion of Sub-Saharan Africa.
Although the space sector is not developed in the country, we try to promote it through astronomy via the Mauritanian Association for Astronomy founded in 2020 and events such as conferences with guests and workshops organized by the SGAC Team.
If you want to contribute to this ambitious project, feel free to join us !
