We’re transforming Africa through innovative scientific training, technical advances and breakthrough discoveries!
The
African Institute for Mathematical Sciences (AIMS) is an innovative,
pan-African centre for post-graduate training, research and outreach
which has achieved global recognition since opening its first centre in
South Africa in 2003. AIMS centres offer a number of educational
programs including a one-year taught Masters and MPhil and PhD degrees
by research. Each AIMS centre provides an intensive and broad education
to over 50 African students each year and prepares them for leadership
careers in academia, governance and industry. The AIMS educational
program relies on top international lecturers who teach in a 24-hour
learning environment.
Based on the success of the first AIMS centre, the AIMS Next Einstein Initiative (AIMS-NEI,
www.nexteinstein.org)
was launched with the mission of enabling 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. As part of this network, the AIMS-NEI
secretariat acts as a coordinating body for all centres.
Within
the context of an unprecedented mission and a pioneering innovative
math and science education institution, AIMS Tanzania seeks to attract a
