ECOSYSTEM OF TRANSFORMATION
AIMS is enabling Africa’s youth to shape the continent’s future through Science Technology Engineering and Mathematics education preparing Africa’s next generation of leaders.
Discovery and Technological Advances
AIMS researchers are tackling, through multidisciplinary approaches, research topics that challenge fundamental concepts and high-end research (fundamental research and quantum science). For example, we are working in partnership with the Government of Rwanda to launch Quantum Leap Africa (QLA) in Kigali, a world class centre for scientific research and innovation.
Industry and Economic Advancement
AIMS is putting Africa’s brightest minds to work. The AIMS Industry Initiative seeks to maximise the opportunities and potential for mathematical sciences to contribute to African economies through human capital, knowledge transfer and applied research for scientific and technological excellence. The initiative links mathematical sciences to the needs of industry as we focus on filling the skills gap in Africa.

Scientific and Technological Excellence
AIMS develops scientific, technical and entrepreneurial competence by creating a critical mass of well-rounded scientists with excellent problem-solving skills, capable of creative thinking and genuine innovation.
The Next Einstein Forum (NEF) launched in 2013 is a platform that brings together relevant stakeholders, from the scientific and academic sector, governments, policymakers, science funding agencies, industry, media and civil society to showcase the remarkable progress that Africa is making in science.
By creating a community of scientists NEF is catalysing action to translate these scientific advances into human benefit.
