Siyakhula: Growing Mathematics in Africa

AIMS is celebrating its 20th anniversary with a week-long mathematics festival in Muizenberg, Cape Town from March 17 to 22, 2024.

The festival aims to strengthen mathematical sciences across Africa and celebrate the continent’s rich mathematical heritage, fostering growth in scientific endeavors on home soil. Bringing together the African and international mathematical sciences community, the event includes representatives from universities, research institutions, governments, the private sector, civil society organizations, and the general public. Attendees will share discoveries, exchange ideas, address pressing issues, and inspire the next generation of mathematical scientists.

It’s a collective reflection and celebration of AIMS‘ role in shaping Africa’s economic development and scientific discovery over the past two decades.

The celebration is funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF), implemented by the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation (AvH) and the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD).
