ABOUT CoRE-MATH

CoRE-Math is a cluster of universities built on the experience of over twenty years of successful mathematical collaborations between African and European partners.

Our Mission Statement:

CoRE-Math plans to take a critical step in supporting socio-economic development in Africa and address the country's significant challenges as described in the SDGs.
CoRE-Math seeks to enhance multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary research and promote the applications of mathematics beyond academia.
The programme aims to produce graduates proficient in mathematics and computing skills, well-prepared to adapt to and excel in a rapidly evolving job market, thereby increasing productivity.
To achieve these goals, CoRE-Math will create platforms for academia-industry interaction and interdisciplinary research. These platforms will include working groups, contact workshops, industry and innovation days, modelling weeks, and statistics offices.
CoRE-Math will develop a high-standard regional collaborative PhD programme to expand PhD training and meet societal demands. CoRE-Math will also ensure that the existing postgraduate programmes are up-to-date and aligned with societal priorities.

CoRE-Math is part of the the initiative led by The African Research Universities Alliance (ARUA) and The Guild of European Research-Intensive Universities (The Guild).

OUR HISTORY

CoRE-Math originates from The Eastern Africa Universities Mathematics Programme (EAUMP) that was established in 2002 with support from Uppsala University, Sweden, through the International Science Programme (ISP).

It now includes several leading research universities in Eastern Africa: Makerere University, the University of Dar es Salaam, the University of Nairobi, the University of Rwanda, and the University of Zambia. EAUMP collaborates closely with Addis Ababa University, which has received ISP support since 2005 and will soon become a member of EAUMP. This foundation enabled collaboration with many European universities, allowing numerous students to receive postgraduate training in Nordic countries and Europe. Partners have also built capacity at African universities by developing and reviewing in-house MSc and PhD programmes, supervision and teaching, offering training on supervision and publication strategies, creating research groups, applying for external funding, and arranging summer schools, workshops, and conferences.
