The goal of the strategy is to bring together PhD students and Postdoctoral fellows in Mathematics from African partner universities; supervisors and mentors; senior researchers; and coordinators from the Sida bilateral programs, ISP core program and Swedish senior researchers with the aim of strengthening and encouraging collaborative research in Mathematics.

The meeting objectives are:

  1. Provide a forum for interaction of PhD, Postdoc students and researchers in mathematics supported by Sida and ISP with a view of sharing experiences and creating sustainable research groups and networks
  2. Bring together mentors, supervisors, PhD and Postdoc students as well as senior researchers to learn from each other.

Sida has supported mathematics since 2007 through bilateral programmes in Rwanda, Uganda, Mozambique, Ethiopia and Tanzania. The support is mainly for capacity building at PhD and Postdoc levels.

ISP support in mathematics started almost two decades ago with the aim of building capacity and improving on the state of mathematics in Uganda, Kenya, Rwanda, Tanzania and Zambia.
