About AIMS
Established in 2003, the African Institute for Mathematical Sciences (AIMS) is Africa’s first network of centres of excellence in mathematical sciences. We enable the continent’s youth to shape the continent’s future through Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths (STEM) education- training Africa’s next generation of leaders.
We have six centres of excellence across Africa- in South Africa, Sénégal, Ghana, Cameroon, Tanzania and Rwanda. The AIMS Next Einstein Initiative is working to operate fifteen centres of excellence across Africa by 2023.
AIMS is a call to action to:
- invest in STEM education to move Africa’sdevelopment forward
- increase collaboration between the public and private sector to prioritise STEM education in Africa
- encourage policy makers to push the agenda of STEM education in Africa for the transformation and sustainable growth of the continent, especially as it pertains to increasing the number of women in the STEM fields
- get Africa’s most talented students to pursue an education in mathematical sciences to innovate and propel Africa’s future.
- increase partnership with industry to contribute to filling the skills gap in STEM, increase productivity and provide critical skills that are indispensable as Africa embarks on its industrial revolution
“We believe that the next Einstein will be African and that he or she will develop solutions that cross borders and change lives.”
