Programmes are continuing areas of CoRE-Math activity that bring together related activities over time. Projects and collaborations include externally funded projects, institutional collaborations and other initiatives connected with CoRE-Math activities. Where relevant, external funding is shown with the individual project or collaboration.
CoRE-Math Fellowships support research visits by postgraduate students and researchers from CoRE-Math universities to Uppsala University and the University of KwaZulu-Natal. The fellowships provide opportunities to develop research collaborations with researchers at the two host universities and strengthen connections across the CoRE-Math network.
Annual mathematics schools have been organised without interruption since 2004, in long-standing collaboration with ICTP. The schools bring together postgraduate students and researchers for intensive study of mathematical topics, with international lecturers and opportunities for research interaction and networking.
Industrial Mathematics connects mathematics with problems from industry and society through contact workshops, Modelling Weeks, Study Groups with Industry and follow-up research.
Mathematics Competitions connects and strengthens national and regional competition activities across the CoRE-Math network, supports cooperation and capacity development, and encourages young people to continue their studies in mathematics and related disciplines.
Women in Math is a cross-cutting area of work within CoRE-Math, aiming to increase participation and opportunities for women in the mathematical sciences and strengthen inclusion across CoRE-Math activities.
A capacity-building project at the University of Rwanda supporting the development of mathematics activities, including work connected with mathematics education and outreach.
Math4SDG is a NORHED II project strengthening mathematics and mathematics education through collaboration between the University of Dar es Salaam, Makerere University and the University of Bergen. It supports PhD training, research collaboration, education and regional activities, including the African–Nordic Mathematics Conference held in Arusha in August 2026.
Long-term bilateral research programmes in Rwanda, Tanzania and Uganda have strengthened mathematical research and postgraduate education through collaboration with Swedish universities. Activities have included PhD and postdoctoral training, research collaboration, curriculum and programme development, conferences and links between the participating research environments.
Collaboration between the University of Bergen, Makerere University and the University of Dar es Salaam supports postgraduate education, student and staff mobility, research visits and research collaboration. The collaboration builds on the universities' wider cooperation in mathematics and mathematics education.
A long-term training initiative launched by the University of Rwanda Department of Mathematics in June 2026. The programme works with students in Years 2–4 to strengthen data skills and preparation for employment and collaboration with industry.
An Erasmus+ collaboration between Makerere University and the University of Groningen supporting doctoral mobility and research visits. Activities have included visits by Makerere PhD students to Groningen and research visits from Groningen to Makerere.
Waterproof develops and tests an educational proof assistant designed to help students learn how to write mathematical proofs. The project supports the use of proof-assistant technology in university mathematics education.
A Finland–Rwanda collaboration using applied mathematics and Earth observation to address research questions connected with environmental and societal challenges. The project brings together LUT University, the University of Rwanda and AIMS Rwanda and supports research collaboration and researcher development.
A forthcoming research collaboration within the Zambia–Sweden bilateral research programme. The renewable-energy sub-programme is led on the Swedish side by Chalmers University of Technology, with mathematicians expected to participate. The programme is expected to begin on 1 January 2027.
FAME is a Finnish flagship programme in applied mathematics in which LUT University is a partner. Its collaboration with Africa supports joint research and the development of longer-term links between Finnish and African research environments, including doctoral and postdoctoral collaboration.
A University of Bergen initiative connecting mathematics and medicine around the use and analysis of health data. Related CoRE-Math activities have included collaboration with Makerere University and work on health data analysis.
The Lake Victoria Living Lab is a developing interdisciplinary research initiative applying mathematical, statistical and computational methods to challenges involving water quality, climate, fisheries and sustainable development in the Lake Victoria Basin.
A University of Geneva–University of Rwanda research collaboration developing statistical methods for Small Area Estimation, with applications to gender disparities in Rwanda. The project combines methodological research with doctoral training, researcher mobility and the development of statistical research capacity at the University of Rwanda.
