Mathematics
Priority area: Innovation & Technology
Building on over twenty years of successful collaboration between African and European partners, CoRE-Math is ready to take a critical next step in supporting socio-economic development in Africa and address significant challenges as described in the SDGs. CoRE-Math seeks to enhance multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary research and promote the applications of mathematics beyond academia. Additionally, their planned doctoral 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. Furthermore, CoRE-Math will develop a high-standard collaborative PhD programme to expand PhD training and meet societal demands. They will also ensure that the existing postgraduate programmes are up-to-date and aligned with societal priorities.
