Chapters
A network of student-led ARS chapters at universities across Africa and its diaspora, starting from the founding chapter at the University of Cape Town and growing outward, campus by campus.
The network is forming
ARS began at the University of Cape Town in 2022, and chapter expansion across the continent is underway. Every new chapter starts the same way that one did — a founding team of students, an institutional home, and a shared way of working.
Start a chapter
A chapter is a student-led ARS presence at a university: a local team that runs events, connects students to open calls and mentors, and represents ARS on campus — while staying part of the same continental network.
Starting one takes a founding team willing to lead, an institutional home (a department, faculty or student society willing to host you), and a genuine fit with how ARS works. Write to us and we'll work through the rest with you.
