We\u2019re transforming Africa through innovative scientific training, technical advances and breakthrough discoveries!<\/p>\n
The African Institute for Mathematical Sciences (AIMS) is a pan-African network of centres of excellence for postgraduate training, research and public engagement in mathematical sciences. Its mission is to enable Africa\u2019s brightest students to flourish as independent thinkers, problem solvers and innovators capable of propelling Africa\u2019s future scientific, educational and economic self-sufficiency. The first AIMS centre opened in Cape Town, South Africa in 2003; since 2011, AIMS has opened additional centres in Senegal, Ghana, Cameroon and Tanzania. The goal of the AIMS Next Einstein Initiative (AIMS-NEI) is to build a Pan African network of 15 centres of excellence across the continent by 2023.<\/p>\n
The highlight of AIMS education, a ten-month structured Master\u2019s Programme in Mathematical Sciences, trains approximately 50 top African students at each campus every year, preparing them for leadership careers. Following the success of the AIMS centers, the AIMS Next Einstein Initiative (AIMS-NEI, www.nexteinstein.org) is launching a Mathematics Teacher Training Program (TTP) in Cameroon, with the Master Card Foundation. The TTP\u2019s objective is to reinforce the pedagogic capacities of math teachers in secondary and high schools, thereby enhancing the quality of secondary school math education in both the Francophone and Anglophone educational sub-systems in Cameroon.<\/p>\n
