We’re transforming Africa through innovative scientific training, technical advances and breakthrough discoveries!
The African Institute for Mathematical Sciences (AIMS, www.nexteinstein.org)
is a pan-African network of centres of excellence for postgraduate
training, research and outreach in mathematical sciences. Its mission is
to enable Africa's brightest students to flourish as independent
thinkers, problem solvers and innovators capable of propelling Africa's
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.
The MasterCard Foundation (MCF) Scholars
Program at AIMS is a new, five year, US $25 million program that will
increase the number of African Science, Technology, Engineering and
Mathematics (STEM) scholars, particularly women, leading technological
innovations that can address development challenges and drive wealth
creation in Africa.
The MCF Scholars Program is a ten-year,
$500 million education initiative that will provide over 17,000
academically talented yet economically disadvantaged young people from
developing countries – particularly from Africa – with access to quality
and relevant secondary and university education.
