POSTGRADUATE SCHOLARSHIPS – 2009

The African Mathematics Millennium Science Initiative (AMMSI) is a distributed network of mathematics research, training and promotion, throughout sub-Saharan Africa. One of the main goals of the AMMSI is to strengthen mathematics learning and culture by supporting the training of postgraduate students in African institutions, through a number of mechanisms. For the year 2009, The International Mathematical Union (IMU), through the Developing Countries Strategy Group (DCSG), has provided funds to enable achievement of the goal indicated above. Applications are therefore invited for the 2009 AMMSI Postgraduate Scholarships, by sub-Saharan African nationals, for Ph.D, M.Sc and Postgraduate Diploma studies in mathematics, to be undertaken at any university in Africa. For more details and application, see the announcement by clicking here.

RESEARCH/VISITING SCIENTIST FELLOWSHIPS

The AMMSI Research/Visiting Scientist Fellowships have been suspended until further notice.

MARM CALL FOR EXPRESSIONS OF INTEREST

Mentoring African Research in Mathematics (MARM) is a cooperative programme designed to support mathematics research and advanced teaching in the countries of sub-Saharan Africa by establishing longer-term mentoring relations between individual mathematicians and students. It also helps to create joint research partnerships between mathematicians working in established research centres, their colleagues in sub-Saharan Africa, and doctoral students of those colleagues. The scheme has now been in operation for several years and details of the existing projects can be found at www.lms.ac.uk/grants/MARM.html. New partnerships are still being sought from institutions that are interested in being part of these mentoring collaborations. For more details and application, see the announcement by clicking here.

AMMSI DATABASE ON AFRICAN MATHEMATICIANS AND MATHEMATICS INSTITUTIONS

The African Mathematics Millennium Science Initiative (AMMSI) is currently compiling a database of African mathematicians, and of mathematicians from other countries, who work in African universities and tertiary institutions. African Mathematics institutions Mathematical resources in Africa
The database will be placed in the AMMSI website and will be available for querying. We kindly request you to help us in this exercise by filling the database form for individuals (Download Individuals Form) or for institutions (Download Institutions Form), as appropriate.

REPORT: SYMPOSIUM ON THE AFRICAN WOMAN AND MATHEMATICS
The Symposium on the African Woman and Mathematics was held during 29 – 30 November, 2008 at the scenic Girassol Indy Village in Maputo, Mozambique.

It was attended by participants from several continents and from all regions of Africa, as shown in the attendance list (Click Here For Attendance List)
