Overview

The Research Centre at AIMS Senegal came into existence in 2013 with the appointment of Professor Mouhamed Moustapha Fall as the German Research Chair in Mathematics and its Applications. Its mission was to conduct and foster exceptional research as well as national, continental and international collaborations.

Since 2013, the Research Centre has welcomed more than 600 visitors to summer schools, winter schools, workshops, short research visits (1-2 weeks) and long-term research visits (2-4 weeks).
