The African Institute for Mathematical Sciences (AIMS) is a pan-African network of centres of excellence for postgraduate training, research and outreach in mathematical sciences. Founded in 2003, AIMS currently has centres in South Africa, Sénégal, Ghana, Cameroon and Tanzania.
The AIMS Next Einstein Initiative (AIMS-NEI) is an effort to build a network of 15 centres by
2023 in Africa.
Our Vision: to lead the transformation of Africa through innovative scientific training, technical advances and breakthrough discoveries which benefit the whole of society.
Our Mission: to enable Africa?s brightest students to flourish as independent thinkers, problem solvers and innovator capable of propelling Africa?s future scientific, educational and economic self-sufficiency.
What do we do?
? TRAINING ? AIMS is providing a structured Master?s program that is enabling a critical mass of African academics, researchers and entrepreneurs on the cutting-edge of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM).
? RESEARCH ? AIMS is facilitating applied and impactful research conducted in Africa, by Africans, that will benefit and nurture Africa?s continued industrial growth and socio-economic development.
? PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT ? AIMS is engaging with African governments and communities as a champion for the mathematical sciences as an agent of change in Africa.
AIMS has graduated more than 748 students (31% women) with over 80% going into Master's and PhD programs directly after AIMS at excellent universities in Africa and abroad.
